3a district pairings

I agree 100%

Crooked Oak is number 3 in the state I’ve looked at records for all the teams and a lot of other teams have worse records. You also have several teams that have already played each other and some multiple times, so i don't think we got hosed to where we got sent.

The decisions in Area III and I are highly questionable. Area IV sets up a very easy path for OCS. It is wide open for that second spot. Area II looks really easy for Cascia Hall and Idabel (at least we wont hear complaints about teams ducking them in that region).

The Crooked Oak situation was well covered above, but how is it fair for them to have to play at Washington for the first game of regionals? The potential Keifer at Kellyville matchup should be a good and interesting game.

Alva got hosed. Their whole regional was done poorly. Not only do they have to play rival Chisolm for a third time at District, they got put in a brutal area with 5 top 14 teams (7 of the top 22) and 3 of the top 9. At least they host districts.

Beyond that, the committee sent Metro all the way to Spiro for districts. Metro is #9 and played for the state championship last season. They have 11 seniors. #14 Lincoln gets to host #22 Rejoice, and they have already played twice, with both games desiced in the final seconds. In fact if Lincoln wins, Rejoice will play Webster for the third time. Either way, the winner of that game will likely have to beat 3 ranked conference teams to get to state as 4 of the Pinnacle conference teams are in the same area with 3 in the same regional. How is that fair to Victory who finished #2? Cascia finished 2nd and got sent south to a much weaker area. Those two teams should have been flipped. I will say Roland got an easy pass to the regional final with a bye and a weak 2nd game opponent.

i would rather play @spiro vs hosting rejoice.

I would think so.  I wonder how much of the problems in 3A came from trying to balance things out on the girls side?

Some of the decisions have to be made to take both girls and boys teams into account. Also Lexington is 9-12 so they should play a hard team. Really don't understand why any coach is crying. Crooked oak will have no problem in that game

I have been in the meetings to set up brackets and OSSAA does not care that much about any teams except top 8. We had two bad teams in a two team district and I asked why and they said it does not effect the top 8.

I enjoy reading yalls posts, and thankful there are so many people out there that keep up with high school sports. I don’t like to post, but since I was mentioned, I will.

I am not mad or aggravated in the least. We are just thankful to be healthy, and have an opportunity to compete. I have watched Lexington, and have nothing but respect for what they are doing. They play hard, and get the most out of their players. Playing at Washington and Kellyville (if we are blessed to get there) will only help us. Kiefer and Okmulgee are good teams too. There are many good teams in our region, area, and our district game should be a good game too. Casady is good also. Holdenville, Henryetta, Millwood, Sequoyah, Prague, Little Axe, Bethel, everyone in this area have some great and talented athletes. Who knows who will be playing in what game. Upsets happen all the time (K-State last night!) I’m just excited to play all these guys, and see who comes out of it. There are a lot of good teams in 3A, I suspect many upsets, and we may be one of them the way we have played lately. We are just happy to play. I wish nothing but the best for everyone’s team. Drawing it perfect is an impossible task, I know OSSAA does the best they can. Games just get tougher as you go, and we are just glad to get the chance to compete.

Good luck everyone!
