TULSA, Oklahoma -
For college basketball players at smaller schools, staying in game shape over the summer can be a challenge. One Green Country coach is doing his part to help those guys out.
Memorial head coach Bobby Allison has started “League 918,” a summer basketball league made up of college basketball players from Tulsa and the surrounding area.
“We were sitting here during the summer having open gym,” Allison said. “Coach Joe looks at me and says, ‘I think people would pay money to watch this game.’”
And League 918 was born.
Made up of mainly Division II, junior college and NAIA players, the teams play a couple times a week through the summer.
