Man, what a weekend it was to be a high school basketball fan! The 2023 Cherokee Strip Basketball Tournament is in the books. 24 games featuring some of the best talent NW Oklahoma has to offer all at Pioneer High School giving their all playing 3 games in 3 days. I meant to post a recap here yesterday but was out of town on company business so I wasn’t around a computer. However, I am in the office today, and I’m going to give you a full day-by-day breakdown of how everything went this past weekend at the Cherokee Strip Tournament as well as have the All-Tournament team that was announced at the tournament. Thank you to anyone who listened to our coverage over the weekend on My 95.7. We had so much fun at the tournament and look forward to being there in 2024.
