Jaren Collins of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. speaks on the 5th Annual Hoop-Phi Basketball Tournament.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. had fellowship and fun at their 5th Annual Hoop-Phi Basketball Tournament. It took place at Norman High School on April 30th.
“We hold this event to give the community a place to come out and have a good time,” said Lonnie Dow, president of Alpha Phi Alpha. “We have free food & entertainment just to show Norman we’re not only focused on OU.”
The tournament had two fields, in which there were 6 female teams and 13 male teams. The ultimate tournament winners, who also won a cash prize, was the female team “Transformers” and the male team, “Team Nike”.
The money that the organizations received from team registration fees goes toward their philanthropies. Each year teams come from all over the Oklahoma City area to play in the tournament.
“I play in the tournament to get some good competition,” said one of the players, Nicholas Robinson. “It’s a great workout, you can’t beat it.”
The tournament was ultimately a success, and they are looking forward to next year’s tournament.
