The 5th Annual All-Indian Madness In March Tournament was held March 19-23, 2008 in Henryetta, Oklahoma. 44 teams (24 boys and 20 girls teams) made up of High School Indian All-Stars from schools and communities throughout Oklahoma, as well as Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, and South Dakota competed for the coveted Gold Ball in this year's tournament! The tournament officially kicked off with a College Prep Day on Wednesday. The seminar is geared toward preparing our Native American youth for the rigors of college life. Warrior Elite, Day of Champions and Caitlyn Baker were this year's guests speakers. Wednesday's activities concluded with a X-BOX 360 and Open Run with members of Warrior Elite.

The fans' favorite event of the week was Friday Night's Rising Star Activities complete with Team Ball, 3 Point, Slam Dunk and Coaches' Challenge. A packed house witnessed the showcase of hardwood skills, including an aerial display by defending champ Randy July and this year's high flier Mike Soap. The night was capped off with a dance held at the host hotel.

Teams competed in pool play all day Thursday and Friday morning vying for the #1 seeds in the single elimination tournament that began on Saturday morning. When the dust cleared Angel Goodrich and the Hot Tamales defended their title successfully with a hard fought win against the Cheyenne-Arapaho team. The Sooner Storm, led by dunk champ Mike Soap and Sapulpa standout Spencer Smith, won with a shot at the buzzer against the Cheyenne Arapaho boys team. At the formal awards banquet the MVP's, Outstanding Offensive/Defensive Players, Scholarship recipients and selections for the All-West Basketball Classic boys and girls team were announced.
