Oktaha is hosting a tournament this week and with it comes one of the best fields you’ll see in an in-season tournament.

• Two State Champions in 2023-2024: Rattan (Fall, Class A), Oktaha (Spring, Class 2A)
• Five Fall and Spring State Tournament teams in 2023-2024: Oktaha (A, 2A), Rattan (A), Wister (A, 2A), Preston (A, 2A), Okarche (A)
• Two Fall and Spring State Semifinalists in 2023-2024: Oktaha and Okarche
• Three teams ranked in the current SSBR Elite Eight: #2 Okarche, #4 Rattan, #6 Oktaha

Something that is a change from other tournaments is that the top half of the bracket will play on Thursday only while the bottom half will play on Friday. All will play a game on Saturday.

Bracket/Schedule

• Wister/Preston is a matchup of a state quarterfinal game from this past Spring that Preston won. The winner will most likely play Oktaha who has been a thorn in both teams sides recently.
• The potential Okarche/Rattan matchup in the semis would be between the top 2 Class A teams at this point. It could be a preview of a state championship game in October.
