SUMMER
TOURNEYS FILLING FAST
Our Summer BigTime Youth Tournaments in
Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Stillwater, Enid and Wichita regions are rapidly reaching capacity
and we'd love to have your team at any of tournaments throughout the year. Of course our
events are less than half the cost of other events and all of our June through September
events are held in air-conditioned comfort. Also be sure to talk youth basketball and
ask questions and comment on the BigTime Youth Bulletin
Board.

WILD BEARS CAPTURE THE TITLE IN YUKON
The
Wild Bears out of north central Oklahoma (pictured at left) won first place in the 3-4th
grade division of the BigTime Tournament in Yukon on July 19-20, winning both of their
pool games to capture the top seed and then on Sunday won all three tournament games,
beating out the Fort Cobb Tropics in the championship game. The Wild Bears are (l-r back
row) Nathan Brock (Pawnee), Jordan Brown (Stillwater), Gideon Gardner (Pawnee), Tristan
Garringer (Morrison), Blake Womack (Pawnee), and (l-r front row) Anthony Leas (Pawnee),
Will Lalman (Morrison) and Hadley Jensen (Pawnee).
RINGWOOD TAKES TROPHY
Ringwood (pictured at right) won their first ever BigTime Tournament in exciting
fashion, with a thrilling win over Pond Creek in the championship of the 3-4th grade
division in a recent tournament in Garber. The squad came to a number of our tournaments
last year and were just learning the ropes under head coach James Broomfield. Apparently
they learned a lot and it showed as they came back this year and now are one of the teams
to beat in that age group. Other 3-4th grade boys teams that think they have what it takes
will get their chance to compete against Ringwood at our summer tournaments, as they'll be
at a number of our events this year.
EAGLES SOAR TO TITLE
A lot of teams that come to our BigTime Tournaments take a
couple of tries to win a championship, so it's pretty amazing when a team does it on their
first try. It's more amazing still when many of the players on the team are among the
youngest in the tournament. Such was the case with the Oklahoma Eagles (pictured at
left) who are comprised of a number of second graders, many playing in their first
competitive event, as they won the 3-4th grade boys division at our Mulhall-Orlando
tournament. The Eagles, who are coached by Larry Jenkins, are (Bottom row left to right)
Vaughn Raney, Jonathan Josell, Luke Jenkins, Omar Boone, Terrence Gaines. Top row left to
right. Connor Johnson, Terry Wilson, JaKoby Long, Tre Evans and Brian Lennox. Coach
Jenkins tells us that the Eagles plan to defend their title over the next few weekends.
