FROM THE TOP

0305281545501ss0603bballgoalhoriz_copy_tAnother basketball season has come and gone leaving behind an exciting year and many memories.  I hope all of you have had a chance to step back and recharge the batteries as we come to the end of the school year and head into the summer months which will be full of camps and basketball activities.  Take some time to enjoy this break from school with your families and to prepare for the next year which will be here before we know it.

Congratulations to all of the state tournament qualifiers and the state champions from each class.  Once again the tournaments were exciting with overtime games and nail biters, with young student/athletes playing their hearts out on the court.  I am truly amazed each year to see the talent level of basketball players and the level of coaching that we have here in Oklahoma.  This is a great game made even greater by the coaches and athletes representing our state.

I would like to encourage you to attend the upcoming OBCA all – star games in Shawnee on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist University.  Coach Tolin always does a great job with these games and it is a chance to watch the outstanding seniors one more time.  The date for the games is Saturday June 6.  For more information you can check out the OBCA website at obca.us, which has all the rosters and game times.

Be sure to make plans to attend the summer clinic which will be held in Tulsa this year the last week of July.  Come down and hear the speakers, see old friends, and talk some basketball.  The all – state game will be held on Thursday night at ORU and it will be a last chance to get a look at the outstanding seniors of Oklahoma this year.  We will also be having our general business meeting this week and I would encourage all of you to attend and get involved with the OBCA. 

I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe summer!  Enjoy this time away.  Hope to see you all at the OBCA games and the summer clinic. 

Alan Hibler
OBCA President
