OSSAA announced playoff assignments for Classes A-B2 on Saturday during a Facebook Live special.
“Everyone is 0-0. Every team gets a chance,” OSSAA Assistant Director Brian Lester.
During the livestream, Lester explained some of the criteria for the assignments, including keeping boys and girls teams from each school together, separating the top 4 ranked teams into separate areas, separating teams 5 through 8 into separate areas and having no more than six ranked teams in an area.
In addition to the new selection show, this will be the first playoff road that ends in the new OG&E Arena.
Three local districts were among the games announced Saturday.
