First Round
Midwest City vs Hugo
Midwest City should have no problem with Hugo in the first round. The Bombers are loaded and should win this game by double digits with ease in Durant.
Norman vs Southeast
Southeast is led by SMU Signee Dashawn Mcdowell as they attempt to make some noise in Durant. Norman is very young and will not be able to match the talent level of Southeast. As long as Southeast plays how they are able to expect a Spartans win.
Westmoore vs Newcastle
This could be a very one sided game if Westmoore plays anything like they did on Tuesday night. Caleb Nichols will attempt to lead Newcastle to what would be a huge upset. Westmoore is very young and talented. We have the Westmoore Jags advancing to the Semifinals.
Durant vs Yukon
Durant will have the home crowd on their side, but will have trouble handling 2017 Guards Jordan Williams and Vernon Turner. We have Yukon making a Semifinal appearance.
Semifinals
Midwest City vs Southeast
Dashawn Mcdowell will have his hands full with the Bombers. 2016 Guard Richard Anderson will show his leadership and experience on the floor. Keyshawn Embery, Jalen Redmond, and Derrick Walter will be to much for Southeast. Midwest City heads to the championship game with a double digit win.
Westmoore vs Yukon
This one could very easily be labeled a toss up game. However, we have the Westmoore Jaguars favored in what will be a close one. 2016 Guard Dakota Foster will have to play very well for the Jaguars to get the victory over Yukon. The team that plays the best on defense will win the game.
Championship
Midwest City vs Westmoore
Westmoore will not be an easy matchup for the Bombers in the Championship game, but we have Midwest City winning the Durant Tournament. The young 2018 Guards for Midwest City will prove to be to good for Westmoore. The Bombers pull away in the 4th to a comfortable win over Westmoore in the Durant Tournament.
