When in doubt, we regress to talking about Tulsa high school football, if I read the Tulsa World, our paper feels like we cover high school athletics over college and the NBA and Tulsa Oilers (which should get more coverage too).

Why does Tulsa World not have an NBA beat writer? Thunder is the most important thing ever to happen to this state in terms of sports, by miles, miles and miles. People in China, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Serbia, and Rhawada watch the NBA. No one gives a about homeschool league football. Little kids love SGA. For some reason, the cronies at the Tulsa World would rather talk about Inola and hype Regent Christian's indoor football pad because they think it is relevant.

King Loren would be a fool to leave for anywhere but college.

Who is it? I hadn't seen any announcement and seeing as how it's one of the most noted programs in the state, you'd think it would be bigger news.

Jenks already announced their coach. They promoted someone from within.

Not sure who you know at Union, but Graham was always the guy from the people I know. Nothing about what Union did was surprising.

It's always the 5-8 guys who can bomb off the tee. Pisses me right off. At 6-2, the Good Lord, for whatever reason, didn't bless me with those shoulder coils so I just choke up on the driver and make sure it lands somewhere in the fairway. Then I bomb a 3-wood off the rug, which is my specialty.

Ball go far!!!

You bomb that 3-wood because that's always when the drink cart girl is coming by and watching!

So the weirdest things have gone down this week in area HS football as 3 of the big 5 were looking for new coaches. Union hired Antonio Graham, a Union alum, but more importantly the Owasso HS coach who took over for BB when BB retired. I don't think many people connected to Union saw that coming...many felt it would just be handed to Dub Maddox. Graham had a great season at Owasso. In turn, Owasso has re-hired Bill Blankenship as the HC. I see this as a 1-2 year thing until Owasso can find someone or they look at it as BB training the next head coach for the Rams. And maybe the best hire of all is BA getting Travis Hill away from Muskogee where he did a great job.

That leaves Jenks. I have no idea where they're looking but I'd be surprised if they didn't at least have a conversation with Loren Montgomery. I think it'd be hard for Montgomery to leave Bixby right now if it's not for a college gig. He's built a great program and culture at Bixby and now Bixby PS is in turn going to build a palace of a football stadium and complex to complement the status of his program.
