Tourney of Champs- Jenks wins again!

Marshall Morris had a breakout game for Jenks as he notched 18 points to lead the Trojans to the Championship of the Tourney of Champs at the Fairgrounds Pavilion in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Trojans had a seemingly safe 8 pt lead with 1:45 left but Booker T Washington's Brian Harris long range bombs and free throw shooting cut the margin to 1 point, 59-58, with 10.8 seconds left. Jenks Brian Brookey went to the line with 5 seconds left and made 1 of 2, setting up Harris with a last second shot that missed, which would have stolen the game from Jenks.

T.J. Smith, Harris, Ian Ponds, Nick Harris and Tharone Chilton led the Hornets.

Jenks was led by Morris, the steady rebounder and defender seemed due to break out after a first round game where his short shots were just a fraction off. Point guard Doug McKnight had a strong scoring second half to finish with 11 points, while TU signee, 6'5" Bryson Pope finished with 17 points despite having a severe challenge at the free throw stripe where he missed 4 of 5 in the 1rst half, and his first 3 of the 2nd half, before calming himself and connecting on his final 4 attempts.

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.
