The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association board of directors approved football districts for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons on Wednesday.
Among the biggest changes for football in the coming years is Bixby's move to Class 6A-I. The Spartans have won six of the seven titles in Class 6A-II and have been in every championship game.
Another big change is Midwest City and Del City dropping to Class 5A to join district rival Carl Albert in the coming years.
Here's a look at the football districts for the next two seasons:
