WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE FESTIVAL 
 

"Rogers State is one of the top D2 softball schools, not just in Oklahoma, but in the country. They have great facilities and an outstanding staff and make us feel big time when we come to the festival. We'll keep coming back as long as they keep inviting us."
-Quinton Draeger, Head Softball Coach, Chelsea High School


"For the past decade, the Lady Sandites have proudly attended the RSU Festival, a tradition that has become one of the highlights of our season. Year after year, the coaching staff and players at RSU pour their hearts into creating a top-tier event, and it shows.

From the first-class facilities to the competitive atmosphere, everything about this festival reflects excellence. This isn't just another tournament for us, it's an experience. Our coaches and players eagerly anticipate it every year, knowing it offers more than just high-level competition. It's about growth, exposure, and the chance to be inspired. What makes it even more special is the opportunity to reconnect with former Sandites who have been blessed to continue their journey at RSU.

Here's to 10 incredible years—and to many more memories still to be made."
