I just don’t see any upsets next week, but hats off to Claremore and McGuinness for getting there when they weren’t the”favorite”. Good coaching job to McG coaching staff, lost Warren and James and just plugged in kids and coached them up. I expect chalk next week, but POTD is a great thing for these kids, I hope the seniors enjoy the moment, they don’t last forever.

Yeah but the OU game is at 11AM so they will miss most of the traffic. I don’t know if you been in or around Norman during an OU game but it is completely dead around town when the game is going on. The teams might have to deal with some traffic on the way there but the fans will miss it. It will be halftime at the OU game by the time this game starts.

Seems like they could have let Claremore have the late game at least. Granted I don’t know if it’s going to make a difference what time of day they play Del City.

Not defending the OSSAA at all, but schools have to be willing to host. And it’s a 5A school, so they also need a venue big enough to accommodate. Without going and looking at every school that is hosting this week, I don’t know where else they could’ve put it.

Literally any of the Edmond schools, Yukon, Putnam City, hell even OBU in Shawnee would've been a good idea to look into

Edmond North is already hosting so that’s out. How do we know Memorial or Santa Fe requested to host? I’d assume they didn’t or they would’ve gotten chosen for one of the games this weekend. Putnam City is already hosting as well. Yukon isn’t hosting so we don’t know if they put in. OBU isn’t turf so that’s out.

Taft stadium should always be used for as many west side semi final games as can be played , built in 1934 as a WPA and a 10 million upgrade done 10 years ago it’s a real treasure. If the kids don’t learn history in school they can learn it at the football stadium instead🤣🤣

Lincoln Christian played Heritage Hall at OBU in the semifinals in 2021 and the surface wasn’t very good. It was grass and you couldn’t see the painted lines at all, it’s like they didn’t even paint it. Plus there is a huge track around the field so fans are really far away. Not a great venue in my opinion.

Exactly. It was terrible.
