We are looking for teams interested in playing @ Merritt High School in a basketball festival sponsored by Paragon.  We have several teams committed but still need a few more.  We have teams ranging from class 2A down to class B.  We are offering help with hotel rooms for teams that are traveling a long distance and also help with meals.  Every player and coach will get a t-shirt as well as a coaches gift.  We have great facilities and we are located on the outskirts of Elk City so there is plenty of easy access to hotels and restaurants.  We would like to make this an opportunity for teams that wouldn't normally play each other to play in a playoff type atmosphere and get ready for the playoffs.  The dates for the festival are Friday January 29th and Saturday January 30th 2027.  If interested please contact Athletic Director Tyler Snowden at 405-971-4178 or tylersnowden@merritt.k12.ok.us
