We are in the midst of the 6th week of the Fall season and with Districts starting for Classes A and B next week, that means this is the last week of the in-season tournaments.
That, in no way, means that the tournaments this week aren’t full of good matchups across the board. We’ve got 3 strong tournaments throughout the state. In the southeast, we’ve got the Rattan Fall Classic. In the west, we’ve got the Warrior Classic (Hammon). In the north central part of Oklahoma, we’ve got the Ripley Tournament.
For this preview, we’ll look at the Ripley.
This is a traditional 8 team field with a consolation bracket.
One of the teams in the field is ranked in the latest SSBR Fall Top Ten (Dover #6) and 6 teams are currently ranked in the top 8 of their respective classification according to the coaches.
