OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma is the the latest in a growing number of states that will implement shot clocks for high school basketball.
The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) board voted 11-3 on Wednesday in favor of implementing a 35-second shot clock for the classes with the largest schools — 6A, 5A, 4A and 3A — starting with the 2026-27 season.
The board also voted 10-4 to allow small-school classes to experiment with shot clocks, subject to approval by the national federation. Shot clocks will not be used for any round of the playoffs in Classes 2A, A and B.
