Dakota Oyate Challenge 2008

2008 Dakota Oyate Challenge Basketball Tournament

The Chiefs and Lady Chiefs are the defending champions of the Dakota Oyate Challenge. This year's tournament will be held Thursday through Saturday January 24-26, 2008 at the Huron (SD) Arena. Eight team brackets will pit many of this year's best Native school basketball teams.

The teams from Omaha Nation will face tough competition as they hope to repeat their success from 2007. The Chiefs are off to another good start with eight wins this season. The Lady Chiefs lost four seniors from the 2007 team, but have won their last two games. Both teams seem to be gaining momentum entering the tournament.
