Scouting around ... Baseball, the big-league variety, has barely hit the halfway mark. Summer, the July-August variety, has barely hit its stride. And football, the high school variety, is just ready to hit, period. The VYPE Oklahoma Football Preview has just broken the huddle and taken the field for its very first play.
