Two small Texoma high schools are getting a rare chance to showcase their talent on a professional basketball stage. On Friday, November 20, the Achille Eagles and the Mill Creek Bullfrogs – both Class B programs – will compete in a “Court of Dreams” exhibition at the Paycom Center, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Event details and schedule
The exhibition game is scheduled for noon, directly before the NBA contest between the Thunder and the New Orleans Pelicans. By purchasing a single ticket, fans will enjoy both the high‑school showcase and the professional game, making for a full afternoon of basketball excitement.
Ticket information
Tickets are on sale now and must be bought by November 1. Upper‑level seats are priced at $22 each, while lower‑level seats are $145. Achille supporters can obtain tickets by contacting the school office or a coach, and they also have the option to sponsor a student‑athlete for $26. Mill Creek fans should reach out to Superintendent Lorinda Chancellor for ticket purchases.
Why this matters for the community
For families and faith‑centered communities across the Texoma region, the “Court of Dreams” event offers a unique opportunity to rally behind local youth, celebrate traditional family values, and witness the dedication of student‑athletes who balance academics, faith, and sport. The game also underscores the importance of parental involvement in school athletics, a cornerstone of strong neighborhoods.
About the schools
Achille High School, located in Achille, Oklahoma, fields a competitive Class B basketball program that has earned respect for its disciplined play and community spirit. Mill Creek High School, based in Mill Creek, Texas, similarly competes at the Class B level and prides itself on fostering a supportive environment for its student‑athletes.
Looking ahead
Both teams hope the exposure will inspire their players and encourage local supporters to continue investing in high‑school sports programs. The event also serves as a reminder that even small schools can share the same court as professional athletes, reinforcing the message that hard work and faith can open doors to extraordinary experiences.
How to get involved
Parents, grandparents, and community members are encouraged to purchase tickets early, arrange transportation for the student‑athletes, and consider sponsoring a player to help offset travel costs. Local churches and civic groups may also wish to promote the event as a family‑friendly outing that aligns with the values of faith, family, and liberty.
