Nationals Final Results
Congratulations to all 10 of the Storm teams for making 6A this year! This is not an easy task and in fact there are many programs that will have just 1 team make 6A. Every single one of our teams managed to make 6A and in fact 8 of our 10 teams reached the final 4! This is an amazing feat so congratulation to the Storm teams for putting together another great run at nationals. Also congratulations to coach Phil Cortesio and the Boys 10 & under for keeping the Storm streak alive of at least one National championship in each of our 10 years of being the OKC Storm! Below are the places each team finished overall at nationals:
G18 4th place
B16 - 4th place
G14 6th place
G12 - 4th place
B12 - 4th place
G10 - 2nd place
B10 - 1st place
