2024 Small A districts

Liberty did go 9-1 or 8-2 last year, huge improvement and awesome for them. They got beat in the first round by Woodland very bad, JV played in the 2nd half. Velma and Regent might be good 11 man teams, but I have to see it to believe it. Gore is 35 - 4 the last 3 years with a first round exit, a 2nd round exit and a super team that when to the ship. I guess I think Woodland and Hominy are 1 and 2 in A2 and don't think there is a clear 3 right now. Mangum has to win some playoff games before I buy!

Yes, Woodland and Hominy look to be 1 and 2, but both teams graduated very good playmakers.  You are also on the edge of buying into a Mangum team that has not done much past the regular season, and you are blasting a whole A3 District that looks to be the toughest top to bottom. Gore has not lost a 1st round playoff game since 2017 in the last six season Gore is 9-6 in the playoffs with a 4 point loss against Fairview in the title game.  During that Gore run all you did was bash them along the way. Your opinion is biased. You have showed in past post that you do not respect the district Gore plays in. This is an all new class, it will shake out different than in years past, with new teams raising to the top. Let us enjoy the ride and see what happens.

A 2020 38-18 2nd round loss to Woodland, a 2023 Team that was replacing 14 starts and a whole new staff, while starting a Soph. QB with 5 Freshman goes 9-3 with a 2nd round loss to a Stroud team that was SR heavy.  That is your argument?  That's what your going with?  No Sir, just be cause you acknowledged a Team with 22 SR as being good does not mean you respect Gore or that district.  

Correct, I do not respect Gore anymore, Brandon Tylers Gore, respect, without him... That district outside of Gore has been unreal bad. Outside of Gore when is their last quarterfinal apperiance?

Gore is average. Their district throughout history has been one of the worst all time. Just my two cents.

Look man, you guys remind me of my IEP JR high Kido's. You just don't get it.  That old Class A is history.....done, over and out. Most of the Blue Bloods are in A1.  Most of the Teams in this class have been bad for a long minute.  Your right, all the districts are Top heavy.  In the old Class A you had 8 Districts. Now you don't, you have 4 districts made up from the bottom half of those 8 districts., with Ringing, Hominy, Woodland and Thomas as the only Blue Bloods. 

However, we are taking about RIGHT NOW, the last couple of seasons is what we are going on. You only Hominy, Ringling, Thomas, and Gore that have played in the Ship in the last 10 years,  Woodland was almost 15 years ago and Apache was 25 years ago.

Velma, and Regent may have been in 8-Man but they did not move up to A1, they moved to A2 all the teams in A2 but about 6 have been struggling.

The coach at Liberty will be in his 5th year, he is building it right, last year he broke through and got them to the playoffs. And your argument for Central Sallisaw makes zero sense, they went 12-1 and 3 rounds deep. They got beat by the state runner up, which Hooker is now in A1, not A2, so is Cashion, Pawnee, Tonkawa, Cresent, Stratford, Stroud, Commerce, Frederick, Pawhuska, and any other tough team from the last 10 years. Fairview and Colcord are in 2A2. 

As for Gore, dude I know what they have coming. If they can keep them form going to some other school they will be a tough in this Class A2, not Class A1.

TOP TO BOTTOM. CLASS A2 IS WEAK. It will be fun to see who rises to the top of this class. And District 3 is the least top heavy district.

Easy there. You’re getting upset. Also Hooker is the smallest A Division 1 school and Central got shellacked in that game. Central would have been dominated by Woodland and Hominy as well who are in Division 2.

And people have been saying Gore will be good since the mid 90s. Gore has big SR class. Gores JH went undefeated. Blah blah blah. I’ve been hearing how good Gore can be for nearly 30 years now. It’s panned out one time. You’re too young to get this. I love your passion though.

The old Class A history is still there it just looks different. The top teams are still the top teams. The dogs are still the dogs. Towns like Liberty, Mounds, Central, Allen, just aren’t as good at football like schools as Hominy, Woodland, Ringling, Thomas. Please tell when the last time someone from that area has won state. The split helps the historically bad teams but they’re still average at best football teams.

It’s still Class A bro. It’s not new. The teams like Allen, Liberty, Central, Mangum are still average. They don’t all of a sudden get better because of the split. Hammered in the first round??? Hominy, Woodland, Ringling, Thomas have done their fair share of whopping that butt in the first round.

You talk like the teams in A2 are different. Like they are new teams. No. Mangum is still Mangum. Liberty is still Liberty. They’re still not teams that can compete with the better football teams. If anything Ringling, Hominy, Woodland, and maybe Thomas just add more trophies to their trophy room because they won’t have to play Fairview, Stroud, Cashion, Crescent, Tonkawa, Hooker. They get the crumbs at the bottom of the chip bag in their league.
