It is that time of the year again where Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) teams prepare themselves for upcoming tournaments across the country. Right here in our own back yard we have a local team, the Oklahoma Servants. The Servants are team founded upon the mission: “To introduce the gospel of Christ to men, women, boys and girls through basketball and to develop a community of Christian families and activities for those families.” They consist of different teams:
· 4 years to 1st grade
· 2nd grade & 3rd grade
· 4th grade & 5th grade
· Middle School Boys
· Middle School Girls
· 9th grade boys
· High School boys
· High School girls
“We have a lot of work to get done prior to our first tournament in two weeks,” said Major Wilson who is the head coach and founder of the teams. He went on to say, “we are looking forward to playing against good competition and getting better at the game.” This year the teams will travel nearly every weekend beginning the third weekend of April.
Though the team lacks a bit of a height, they make it up for it with quick guard play, and good shooting. “We’ve gotten some kids from across the area who are hard workers, and very competitive,” said assistant coach Curtis Horton.
Overall, the Oklahoma Servants will be a good and fun team to watch, and look as if they will go far this AAU season.
