Oklahoma high school football playoff bids decided by coin flip at catfish restaurant

Three Oklahoma high school football coaches met at a catfish restaurant at midnight on November 7, 2026, to resolve a three-way playoff tie via coin flip. The unusual tiebreaker determined which teams would earn playoff bids, as the teams were level on record and could not be separated by standard tiebreaker rules. The late-night gathering at the restaurant became a notable moment in Oklahoma high school football.
