Ross is actually moving to Oregon after the AAU summer season is complete. Post Monty Brown #32, all 6'11" attended Liberty last year but will be attending the Hodgkiss Prep School in Connecticut for his senior year.

The squad enters the prestigious Jerry Mullens Invitational July 6th, 7th and 8th against some of the top AAU teams from around the country. It is an NCAA certified event and many coaches will be in attendance.

Team Oklahoma traveled to Houston for the prestigious KINGSWOOD Classic April 18-20th. The Kingswood Classic drew 275 teams in the 17 yr old division, and Team Oklahoma made it to the ELITE 8 of the TOP DIVISION. They were ousted by Team Canada, who ultimately won the tournament. The elite 8 games were shown live on the internet and hundreds of NCAA college coaches attended the event.

Team Oklahoma won the Hardwood Productions Memorial Day Masters tournament May 23-25th. The following weekend they won an MAYB tournament.

Team Oklahoma is shown below after winning the Del City MAYB Tournament that ended June 29, 2008. With 8 players 6'4" or taller, the quickness and 1/2 court defensive pressure this squad displays catches some teams off guard.
