“Thank you to NOC Enid, Chick-fil-A and the Stride Center for making this event possible, giving residents another activity to choose from that weekend,” Visit Enid director Marcy Jarrett said. “It helps Enid’s economy through visiting teams staying in our hotels and eating in our restaurants, and it will bring visitors to Enid for perhaps the first time. We encourage all fans to enjoy a basketball weekend in downtown Enid.”

NOC Athletic Director Jeremy Hise added, “We are very excited to partner with great community leaders for this basketball classic. Chick-fil-A, the Stride Center and VisitEnid have always been fun to work with. Without their help, this classic would not be possible.
