We have bashed the OSSAA several times on this site, so this will be new. They did a great job of listening, at least to a majority of the 2A track coaches, and split up the top teams to give us a chance to have the best 16 representing each event at Carl Albert. The regional assignments came about due to coaches doing their jobs this year(only 10 turned in ranking sheets last year, so they solely went by geography). Bravo Mr. Jackson. Bravo OSSAA.

Jackson got a ton of calls and help from 2A schools. Either we wore him down and he just threw it in for those classes, or the coaches are slacking in those classes.

ossaa screwed up the 4A regionals bad. 4 regionals. one has 17 teams, another one has 15 teams, another has 12, and the last has 11. the one with 17 teams is LOADED. some kids will screwed out of going to state because it's going to be so competitive. kids that finish 4th at that one would most likely win at one of the others.
Like I said. It depends on what the 4A coaches wanted. If not enough let Jackson know, he will go straight geography. We are going to Tishmingo. It is 35 minutes further than everywhere else we could go. Everywhere else is 3 hours. Nobody else wanted us, and I don't mind driving an extra 30 minutes to get a 300 hurdler or my 3rd 100 guy in. Everyone else was gonna be fine.
