We’re rollin’ right along with the district previews. I tell ya one of the toughest things has been to try to remember what teams are in what district now. Got comfortable the last two years.
Before we start hitting our eight-district classes, here’s a look back at Class B:
District B-4: Summit Christian made quite the little noise last year in the OSSAA in basketball and now it has a chance to do the same in football.
Despite never playing in the OSSAA before, coaches believe the Ron Davis-led team is going to be the team to beat this year in B-4.
Looking for a player to watch? Opposing coaches couldn’t say enough good things about Depew’s Roy Lewis. Scary thing is he’s only a junior.
For more on B-4, including the coaches’ poll, here ya go.
District B-3: Teams and coaches should be wearing name tags as there are an astounding eight new teams to the district. Some teams moved up, some moved down….and well, there ya go.
I’m looking for big things from Allen. After so many tough losses last year, you have to get stronger from that, right? Quarterback Brady Caldwell will be one to watch. And much like Lewis at Depew, Caldwell is only a junior.
For more on B-3, including the coaches’ poll, here ya go.
District B-2: As the private schools writer, I’ve caught time and time again with Oklahoma Christian Academy’s Keith Lough. He’s good people, and I’m excited to take a trip to the Eagles’ new field. OCA has one of the most dynamic players in the state with RB Parker Randell.
I always think Davenport is going to drop off just a tad, and then coach John Greenfield makes me look stupid every year. So though the Bulldogs only have 20 kids, hmm, I’m not going to underestimate this club.
For more on B-2, including the coaches’ poll, here ya go.
District B-1: Ahh, one of the toughest districts the last couple of years may have gotten tougher. No, seriously. This district has been all about Garber, Laverne and Canton the last few years.
Canton is expected to drop off a bit, but Laverne and Garber should be duking it out. And then add in a former Class C power like Seiling…and there ya go. This district takes a backseat to nobody.
For more on B-1, including the coaches’ poll, here ya go.
We’re through with eight-man and keep it locked on NewsOK.com/Varsity for all your district preview information.
