You've also got to look at the division that these teams are in... With a few "powerhouse" teams in each division, there are going to be teams with 3 losses no matter what. TYAA Blue, BA Black and Jenks White all in the same division give a team like McAlester 3 automatic losses. And if you have an "off game" like Choctaw Blue did against Stillwater, and you still have to play Edmond, and Jenks Maroon, you're at 3 losses... Just my opinion. Its hard to beat some of these teams that have played 3-4 years together. I know that we have had about 5-6 of our boys on the same squad since 1st grade, and these boys are BEST FRIENDS and would literally lay their life on the line for one of their teammates. I think this plays a huge factor in football.

As far as the draft and how teams are set up, @ Jenks, we do pretty much exactly what BA described, (without the recruiting of players outside of our boundaries  :o :-* ). With so many returning players from last year, we didn't pick up a single player in the draft and all available players went to Jenks White as they had 3-4 players less than us at the time of the combine. Protect or not, they will even out the squads first, then allow protects and players to be drafted. We try to keep it pretty fair over here and want our fellow Jenks teams to be as competitive as possible. These boys are all going to play HS ball together one day, hopefully and no one ever got a scholarship for winning a 4th grade INFC Championship. There is no "my dad", or "new players" that live outside of the Jenks school district. I thought the rule was that if you played in INFC last year and moved to a new district with a team, that you had to sit out one year? Guess that's not the case with certain teams **cough cough  BA cough cough**
