The Oklahoman’s championship picks
Cameron Jourdan: Howe. The defending champions, even if it was from two years ago, have a tough road to get through to try and repeat but have the talent to get it done.
James D. Jackson: Dale. The Pirates have proven they can beat the top half of the Class 2A field. As one of the best defensive teams, Dale can almost shut down any team and turn it into fast-break opportunities.
