3A New classifications

I could see that. I'd vote to send Lincoln Christian west lol

Put all the privates in their own district. That's what would be funny. Imagine them tears and that lawsuit.

3A publics got SCREWED

Someone is butthurt

Now there's a great idea 💡

It isn't about "losing to privates".  Eufaula is 4-1 in their last 5 games against privates in football.  That one loss was a hose job against OCS a few years back where they lost 28-24 on a late td.  It's about being on a level playing field.  

I agree publics should allow God back in school but make no mistake, God is not why MOST of them kids are going to them privates.  It is pay to play and less classroom work. The "Christian" on them school titles is for financial gain.

....they do NIL to an extent with "vouchers", they do openly recruit (ever been to a track meet with LC?), and they have a transfer portal by being able to accept or deny any student. ALL while self reporting ADM....These are decently sized advantages one might say. Not sure God needs to be brought up in this case (very slippery slope there) because God doesn't give a crap public/private debate. 15-18 yr old kids in private schools are a tad bit different in the way they are taken care of than most publics. "They put their pants on just like we do" is one of the worst sayings. The pants most public schools put on are worn out and torn and dirty while the other side has theirs cleaned and pressed. 
This debate will never fade regardless of what you and I think. lol 

No I hear ya. I wouldn't say they are soft because I think kids right now are soft anyways. But, I don't think it has anything to do with being soft or not, it has to do with numbers. A good public school in this class has 6-8 dudes that are really good who have to all 3 aspects of the game. A good private has a choice between 12-15 of those guys which 9 times out of 10 they don't play both sides of the ball. That's my argument. In a really good year, a good public can compete with a good private. But more times than not that is all they are doing is competing and fighting for their life to not get beat by 2 TD's. 

So, all coaches have to do is is mentally prepare a kid (no matter athletic ability, because 10% isn't a lot if you think about it) and they will be able to compete with Metro and LC? 2 time Texas state coach or not, bring that dude to Sallisaw Central and let's see where he gets. It's not hard to manage a game when you get all the best kids. That's another gripe of mine. Regardless there is always greener grass. But if you grow up in Wagoner from K-9th grade and have coaches pour into you/develop you (You're secret) and then they ditch you for a free voucher for a private, then what?
