OK Spring Preview: Roff Tigers

The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on March 2nd, opening day for regular season action under Ossaa regulations. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2020 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Oklahoma Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

OUTLOOK

One of the storied programs in OK small school high school baseball, Roff is reloaded and ready to challenge for another state championship, this year, in class A. Roff will be one of the most balanced teams in the class with solid offense, defense, and pitching with some depth at each. They have had some key injuries that may hold them back, but if healthy, they are as good as anyone.
