Basketball season has come and gone again. It was a very exciting year with a lot of ups and downs. Spring is here and it is time to recharge and prepare ourselves for the coming summer and next season. June will be full of all kinds of hoops activities with camps and summer leagues. I am looking very forward to spending some quality time with my family and hope you do the same!

Congratulations to all of the state tournament qualifiers and the state champion coaches! What a great accomplishment! I look forward every year to the great games and watching kids compete at such a high level. There is nothing like going to the Big House to watch games. It is a weekend my sons and myself look forward to every year!

Looking forward, don’t forget about the OBCA All-Star weekend on June 10th and 11th. It is always a great weekend in conjunction with the Faith 7 game. The Hall of Fame banquet on Friday night is always special and a time of listening to and honoring coaches who helped make basketball great in the state of Oklahoma. Make plans to attend if you can. You won’t be sorry. All of the rosters and gametimes will be available on the website at oklahomabasketballcoaches.com. Please be sure and thank Coach Tolin for hosting this game, he and Kyle always do a great job with it.

Be sure to make plans to attend the summer clinic in Tulsa as well. The dates this year are July 24-29. Come by the OBCA booth and talk some basketball when you aren’t listening to speakers. I hope you all have a great summer! See you at the games.

Bryan Jennings
