Tulsa World:
In a rare move by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, Holland Hall’s boys and girls basketball teams, both ranked No. 5 in Class 4A, have been shifted to 5A.
In exchange, Ardmore moves down to 4A. Both of Ardmore’s teams are 2-5.
The OSSAA made the adjustment Tuesday due to it not classifying Holland Hall properly before the season.
Holland Hall’s ADM (average daily membership) would normally place it in 4A for the second year in a row. However, due to its basketball teams qualifying for state tournaments in two of the past three years, OSSAA rules dictate that it moves up a class.
Since 2011, OSSAA Rule 14 has addressed the perceived disparity between public and private schools by forcing the privates to play a classification higher than normal, based on prolonged success at a lower level.

An email is being sent to all boys and girls high school basketball coaches.
In the email you will find a link to a brief survey regarding a 35 second shot clock in high school basketball. The OSSAA asks that you carefully consider all the elements involved in the implementation of a shot clock. The results of the survey will be presented to school administrators during the annual Area Meetings held in October around the State. Please read the survey carefully prior to giving your input.
The survey will close at 3 pm on Friday, September 16.
