Honestly though as far as talent goes Oakdale has the best chances to win it. I've played with the Freshman point guard Jackson Hicks and if he works his way into the starting lineup that first 5 will be solid. How they distribute shots may be their biggest issue because they all like to score. This seems to be the biggest problem in my opinion with district 4a in the present day. Everyone wants to score. I remember the district had less talent for sure a few years back but the team basketball was shone from all 7 of the district teams

Yeah they have solid guard play but their tallest player is a little over 6 foot. So that is where coalfield will hurt. Hensley is playing and has started practicing with the team. Once they get McKinney back they'll have at least balanced size. But having pretty much no post play will hurt against the region teams like midway (midway and coalfield play tomorrow night) so I guess we will see how they do against the senior Caywood

Yeah It really is wide open! With such evenly matched teams it's gonna be really interesting to watch! Excited for some close district 4a games that will be decided in the 4th or overtime.

Through two games Jake Ariaz and Michael Brown from coalfield average over 18 ppg a piece. Ariaz is known to be a deadly three point shooter but has developed so many more aspects to his game and is creeping on 6 ft tall. And The person on here who said something about a "soon to be bench player" should also know that during district 4a fall ball a month ago, the guy you are referring to (Michael Brown) had a 40 point game. Yes it was just fall ball but for you to write him off like he doesn't matter proves that you are ignorant. Lee and McKinney are really good ball players. But those who gameplan solely for those two are going to find out that they should've prepared for the rest of the team too. There are so many shooters on this team that some nights it's gonna come from 6 different directions. Also I've played pick up ball all summer with some boys from Oakdale. This is the most talented group from Oakdale I've seen in years. They have more talent all the way around than any team in the district. Steinmetz and Maverick Smith are the obvious threats but the Hicks brothers have some serious chemistry on the court and are both very talented. Abernathy can shoot too so they also have a crazy amount of shooting ability. Saw OS play more than once over the summer and I can't possibly put them ahead of Coalfield or Oakdale. They have one of the better players in the district though in Taylor Murray. Yet to see anything from Oneida but they always have a decent team at least. Jellico has the best player in the district so I have to think they'll end up advancing in the tournament at least one round and will probably surprise some people. So after saying all that my prediction is: 1.Coalfield 2.Oakdale 3. Jellico 4.Oneida 5. Oliver Springs 6.Wartburg 7. Sunbright

If we are going to say that if Oliver Springs, Wartburg, and Oakdale getting wins over Harriman is a good sign, then it may be good to know that Coalfield handled Harriman in an exhibition game weeks ago. Obviously without the football players. Also, it is obvious Wartburg and Sunbright have two extremely good coaches, but their rosters are virtually talentless this year. Both Oakdale and Coalfield will surprise teams this year, no doubt in my mind. From watching a good amount of district 4a during the summer and keeping updated on the game results thus far my poll would look something like this, 1. Jellico 2. Oneida 3? Oakdale 3? Coalfield 5. Wartburg 6. Oliver Springs 7. Sunbright
