Share on RSS

 

We are just a few weeks away from an annual sports event coming back to Bartlesville. 

The Great American Conference Tournament will run on March 2-5 at Bruin Fieldhouse.

This is the 6th straight year the GAC will have its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments in Bartlesville. This year’s tournament is the first of a new three-year contract the GAC signed with Bartlesville, ensuring that the tournament will stay in town through 2019.

Bob Pomeroy of the Bartlesville Sports Commission talks about what this tourney brings to town every year. 

Former Bartlesville High girls’ basketball standout Hailey Tucker will return to her high school gymnasium, as her team, Southwestern Oklahoma State, is expected to compete for a conference championship. Tucker has been one of the conference’s leading scorers thus far this season.

The Great American Conference is an NCAA Division II conference, with 12 schools in both Oklahoma and Arkansas.
