Wanted to add this to the discussion, today OCA informed the teams in A-3 that they would be dropping out of the district. I know Bolt had some interesting interactions with this school earlier this year. On the outside looking in with all the stuff that has happened there this past season, something does not appear right. Anyone have any insight?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! Sounds like an absolute S#!% show! I know I had talked Coach Shackelford over at Cashion about filling the vacancy that was going to be left by one of his assistants taking the OCA job. From what I hear, he had second thoughts and went back to Cashion. I am feeling extremely blessed for my family to end up at McAlester!

From what I know, this past season the team had a major facelift. Brought in several new "lay coaches" including one who runs a QB camp to run the offense. Several new players that were not on the roster the year before came as well. Head Coach gets suspended for several games by the school during the season. At the end of the year, the head coach is leaving,(not sure if that was his choice or not) and many of those new players they had this year are leaving as well. Advertised for a head coaching position and then hired within. Now they are dropping out of District A-3 with only a handful of players remaining. Not sure if they will go independent, 8 man, or drop football.

Heard they were dropping football. I heard that George was paying for kids camps to get them to OCA. Then hired some of George's "Coaches" but they werent doing things with the program just basically collecting a check

Always be leery of an AD/Basketball Coach at a small school. There maybe some that are good, but I seen my share and my experiences weren't good! That is today's PSA from Coach Stone

What in the name of the wide world of sports is going on with this place? What people may not realize that there was drama from the beginning. The current AD (also current head MBB coach) replaced the former AD, who was also the HC of football at the time. Both of them didn't see eye to eye. It started from a "complaint" from a parent that stated that the coaches weren't married and were living w/their sig. others, which almost crashed the seaon all together. Plus a transfer issue with one of the QB coming from OKCPS, where the school blocked the transfer, even though the state allowed the passage of parentalship to the guardian. That led to an investigation (cleared), but the school made the HC serve a 6 game suspension from complaints from Sayre's AD. After the season, they fired the HC and started their search. They offered one of the coaches on staff, but the money was too low and it seemed like the governing board for OCA wasn't interested in keeping football,even after the successful season. Afterwards, it was offered to a coach in Cashion, but at this point most of the coaches had found new jobs because the AD didn't notifiy anyone about the job search and he rejected the offer. The vast majority of info we we're finding out online was through the forums. After not finding a coach, they told the kids that they couldn't transfer due to them having the "ability" to play other sports at the school. They threathen school distrcits who were receiving kids that they would Rule 9 them for recruiting. The AD sold out for basketball, only to get whooped up by Dale. It's a shame that bad leadership would come on here and lie when they know coaches have the enitre thing documented. As for us, we all just got done coaching in our 2nd straight 5A state championship....lol (win,lose)
