This week Ford High School Weekly sits down with two leaders from the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association. Executive Director David Jackson talks about preparations for the new school year, arranging venues for championship competitions, implementing new rules and policies, managing reclassifications and the rules and policies for eligibility related to transfers. Director of Officials Grant Gower discusses the challenges that come with being a game official, a new intentional grounding rule and how the OSSAA is responding to a shortage of officials.
