The calendar has turned to the a new year and that means the OSSAA high school baseball season will be here soon. Classes A1, A2, and B officially get started February 23 while the rest of the classes begin March 2.

Up until that the beginning of the season, SSBR will be providing previews of as many teams as we can. Recently, SSBR sent out questionnaires to the high school coaches across the state of Oklahoma asking for their top returning players, top newcomers, overall strengths/weaknesses, and their overall assessment where their respective programs are coming into the 2026 season.

What you have below are the responses to those questions in the words of the coaches themselves.

Outlook

As we enter year three, our focus is on building a program that is tough, gritty, and built to last. We are laying the foundation for a culture rooted in hard work, discipline, and competitive fire. Our goal is not just long-term success, but to compete with the rest of the state early in our program’s history and establish ourselves as a team that refuses to back down. We are determined to make some noise this year.
