What happens when word gets around that you run a good tournament and several teams want to play in it? You ask a nearby school for some help and turn the tournament into a festival at two sites.

That’s what Noble High School did. In 2023, the Bears held an 8 team double elimination tournament. In 2024, the Bears have gotten with Norman High to host the newly named “Cleveland County Classic” at Nobel HS and Norman HS.
