Predictions are like a person’s exterior region.
As in, everybody has one.
It’s the time of the year when newspapers and magazines are predicting the expected outcomes of Oklahoma high school football districts.
This is an inexact science, as you may recall.
It’s a good thing people do not depend on these predictions for income. I know I wouldn’t like that wager. There is no way to predict what a bunch of 15-18 year olds will do.
Factor in injuries, stage fright and much more and it becomes an impossible call.
Most of the predictions are based on either last year’s success or the number of starters returning.
I have looked over magazines and newspaper and decided to give you what they say, and what I expect to happen.
In 4A-4, Poteau is predicted to finish somewhere between third and sixth. Everybody says the district winner will come from Sallisaw and Cascia Hall. It is a tangled mess for the final two spots.
Broken Bow is mentioned in most predictions based on the number of returning starters, along with Fort Gibson, Poteau and Muldrow.
I’m going with Cascia Hall to win the district with second-place coming down to the Poteau and Sallisaw game, the district opener for both teams win week four. This isn’t a homer pick, mind you, but based on what I saw in the scrimmage last week and the Pirates’ performance against Catoosa and Tulsa Memorial on Friday.
The Pirates will have a good test when they host Mena on Thursday in their final scrimmage.
In 3A-8, county teams Spiro and Heavener will compete. Spiro is usually mentioned in the top four while Heavener is near, or at the bottom. I think Stigler will probably win the district with Spiro, Checotah and Valliant competing for the final three spots.
Vian is the overwhelming choice in 2A-6. Pocola was predicted to finish in the top four in one poll I saw, but after the Wolverines and Hartshorne, the final two spots are wide open. I expect Panama to open some eyes this year.
Talihina is back in class A and predicted to finish behind Gore and Savanna. Uh, wrong. With a load of starters back and dropping down a class, the Tigers will finish in the top two and wouldn’t surprise me to win the district.
Arkoma is picked in the top three of its district but has to replace a lot of starters. Bokoshe is expected to finish near the bottom of the district.
