It is in Tulsa because it is an east side area matchup.

Where is 6A state?
I will be post my son's BA baseball game, as we will want to watch the BA boys as well. Lot of good athletes at Memorial that night as BA has a really talented JR guard with TU, TTU and ORU offers among others. Caleb Huffman is his name. Could be a late bloomer for OSU or OU if he can be more consistent this summer.
I forgot, however, Huffman will miss Friday night due to two technical fouls in the regional finals against BTW. One terrible call from an official 70' away from the play or hanging on the rim and another when as a defender he touched the ball prior to it being inbounded by a BTW player. If BA wins without him, he will play Saturday.

tried that once... Likely a deny.
It's a denial, almost guarantee it. Hard, because both of the technicals were, really "technical" and not for bad behavior. Is definitely the letter of the law and not so much the spirit of the law, but it's the law and he'll be out is my guess. Too bad.
Do you go to the games? Just wondering if I know a fellow poster and don't know it!
Thoughts on the "hanging on the rim" T. Lots of people upset with that one where I was sitting.
My youngest is a JR at BA and played hoops and baseball until this year. Had some back problems, wanted to focus on the PSAT for a shot at a national merit scholarship and opted to play baseball only this year. Had been playing with those kids for a long time.
I'll scan the crowd for a guy wearing an East Central shirt
during the next game! I'll be the good looking shorter white guy with a 6-2 kid sitting next to me!i thought it was a terrible call. It was a big moment for BA and the other two closest to the play didnt call anything. I think in the big games ie playoffs games you let some of those petty things go because emotions are amped up. the ref who i wont name struggled the whole game i thought he sucked.
I would agree and that was the last whistle he blew for BA. My son and I were keeping track. Could have been the right call, but dude was literally 70 feet from the play. I thought Wallace was going to get a T - I would have for sure! Then the same ref stopped the game when BTW had the ball to talk to Wallace. No "T", just blew his whistle and when over and talked to him. Didn't think that was legal either. I agree he struggled, but I think he always struggles, not my favorite.

These are just opinions from watching one high school playoff game.
I watched Harrah play Blanchard on Saturday. Apparently, the coach at Harrah does not believe in throwing the ball to his best player. Harrah’s offense could be soooooooooo much better if they would run the offense through Brady Manek. Instead, Harrah seems to be in a hurry to jack-up outside shots, even though there is no shot clock in OK high school basketball. Goodness; what is the hurry? Take your time and get Manek the ball. Manek only touched the ball on something like 15% of Harrah’s offensive possessions. Maybe less.
Even with the opponent’s defensive focus on Manek, he is the tallest player on the floor. All Harrah has to do is throw the pass HIGH to Manek near the free throw line, and there is no way to defend it.
Manek often worked hard to get good position in the paint, but the passes to him were rare even when he got himself wide open. On those rare occasions that he did get a pass, he usually scored or kicked-out to a wide open shooter when the triple-team came. Harrah could have done this all day long, on every possession. Instead, they almost never did this.
It is a pity that Manek does not play for a better 4A high school coach. I went to the game with a friend that said Harrah played this same way last season, wasting the offensive talents of their best player.
Harrah is in the winner’s bracket and only has to win one more game to make the State Tournament, but I expect them to lose the winner’s bracket game Friday night vs. Tulsa Central. If so, Harrah will have to win Saturday against the survivor of the loser’s bracket to make it to State.
Manek did not impress with his defense or rebounding. He needs to add bulk and strength in college. His offense did impress. He can shoot the ball. He has a sweet stroke and gets the shot off quickly. He can also make 3-pointers with no problem. There is an old saying that goes something like: it is easier to teach defense than it is to teach someone to shoot the ball. Manek can shoot it. Late in the game. he also showed good handles for a tall player when he helped break the press.
I look forward to watching his development at OU.
