With scrimmage season starting, one of the biggest annual events for Oklahoma programs is the Elite 14 Showcase in Wichita Falls, Texas. At the Elite 14, Oklahoma teams get to test their mettle against top Texas, regional and nationwide teams. Along with the chance to play top level competition, the other benefit of the Elite 14 is exposure to college coaches.
