NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association will be moving its Class 6A and 5A high school state basketball tournaments for 2022, 2023 and 2024 to The University of Oklahoma’s Lloyd Noble Center in Norman.
The tournaments had been held at the Mabee Center on the campus of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa for the previous 12 years.
The parties announced the agreement on Wednesday.
The Lloyd Noble Center last hosted high school basketball state tournaments in 2009.
“After evaluating the bids we received and having further discussion with each site, the bid from the University of Oklahoma was the one for our member schools,” OSSAA executive director David Jackson said. “We had an excellent run at the Mabee Center and look forward to bringing that same type of state tournament atmosphere to Norman.”
The 2022 tournaments will be held March 10-12.
