Midwest City, Northeast: Tournament canceled for boys (Union/Jenks)...

Though it sure would appear things are going to be quite OK here in the Oklahoma City area for Friday tournament games, that’s not the case in Tulsa.

Tulsa Union and Jenks Public Schools are both going to be closed Friday and thus the Union-Jenks Invitational is canceled.

One of the contingency plans, said Midwest City boys coach Dewayne Bradley, was that if the schools were closed, the tournament would be canceled.

“I’ve never had this before,” Bradley said. “Never had a tournament just flat out canceled.”

Midwest City does not play until next Friday so it will be interesting to see if the team is at all rusty. Bradley said his team will practice this weekend. The Northeast boys were the other Oklahoma City area team involved in the boys/girls tournament.

Heard Union and Jenks were canceled so I called Bradley. He hadn’t heard anything yet. As we’re talking, Jenks’ Clay Martin texts Bradley to say the tournament is canceled. See, timing is everything even at 10:30 on a Thursday night.
