So here are the "live" video and Twitter updates from Tip-Off's most dominant team: The OKC Storm. For the second consecutive season, the two time defending homeschool basketball national champions split their team in two for Tip-Off. And like last year, both teams sailed through tournament play undefeated. We'll start with OKC Blue's 2nd game versus the NWA Hornets (AR). From there we go to OKC Gold's 2nd game versus the MHEA Eagles (TN), and on to OKC Blue versus Impact (VA), and finally OKC Gold versus the KC East Lions. Enjoy!
Storm opens up an 11-0 lead in opening game of Div 1A quarterfinal action. http://t.co/NREst6PYae

OKC's Friday with the nifty move facing the basket. He will play at Bowling Green next season. http://t.co/LDiKj6Jw3C

Where I'm from, we call what KJ Jones does here "yanking someone." And Friday finishes the play with a nice jumper. http://t.co/FS5Q2YxlmM

*Correction: BJ Maxwell was the player crossing over here.*
When I saw the Storm guys sitting in the stands, I thought they were a college team. Talk about passing the eye test!

OK so OKC's Friday just buried three straight 3s. Looks like a D1 4 man to me. Oh that's right, he is one! http://t.co/hiKyOOYL7X
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 30, 2014
Now that I am not coaching, I'll say OKC's Kole Talbott (seen here) is prob my favorite @NCHBCLive hooper. http://t.co/KWlxPVHCmr
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 30, 2014
OKC's Bryant Calloway (seen here) is leading a group of reserves to a 58-18 lead with less than 1 min left 1st half. http://t.co/09PfTchKV1
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
If OKC Gold is anything like OKC Blue, MHEA will need hot shooting+smart play from Benson+Houck (+help from MHEA Nation) in 7:30 game.
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
OKC's BJ Maxwell finishes here. He has done a lot of good things. Creates, penetrates, finishes. OKC Blue is coasting http://t.co/xgSO6SbbV8

OKC Blue is 10 min away from advancing to semis. Next will be OKC Gold vs MHEA, followed by Memphis vs KC East and finally GreenCo vs Impact

OKC Blue gets the winner of GreenCo vs Impact in the Div 1A semis. Getting ready for MHEA vs OKC Gold now.

OKC Gold's Mark Malone has been dynamite, has had a hand in all 9 of OKC's points as Storm leads MHEA 9-2 early.
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
OKC Gold may have better inside play (see here) than Blue. And Blue has a D1 post guy! http://t.co/APD6ouXDi4
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
OKC's Malone seals inside. I got used to this last year after he did it repeatedly against my GAIS guys! http://t.co/BS0IeSRem9
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
Dressler for 3 after the Malone offensive board and assist. Storm leads MHEA 22-4 late in the 1st. http://t.co/i6xYPswxYz

OKC Gold is rolling, leading MHEA 24-6 after 1 quarter of Div 1A quarterfinal action.

— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
Wouldn't have thought it possible. But the 2nd qtr of OKC-Impact was better than the 1st. Stay tuned for a play-by-play video breakdown.
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
This is just good basketball. If the post is overplayed from wing, the entry comes from on top. Kudos Coach Talbott. http://t.co/9eGtQwHQYL

Former HCYA+Houston University great Chicken Knowles was best homeschool post man I'd ever seen.OKC's Friday has already taken that spot IMO
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
How good is OKC? Split team takes dynamite Impact squad's best shot and proceeds to pull away and almost "bust the clock" w 97-77 win. Wow!
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
Jalone Friday scored 46 pts in OKC's victory today. Seriously! More on him later. He is awesome. And Talbott is the perfect teammate 4 him!
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
KC East will now aim to topple OKC Gold in Div 1A semifinal action. KC's Dailey+OLC's Malone may be a great inside matchup!
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
@NCHBCLive Do the 2 Storm teams practice together? I bet those in practice battles are EPIC. #IronSharpensIron
— Andreus Shannon (@savtownnative) October 31, 2014
After this KC East transition bucket, OKC's lead was 10-6. Dressler has responded with 4 pts +1assist. Storm 16, KC 6 http://t.co/umBN2HUzJP

This nifty move gives Dailey 8 (of LC East's 10) pts. Very, very good player. Storm 18, KC 10. http://t.co/fXepRAu2J8

Watch this behind-the-back dribble into the (finger tip) dunk by Storm Gold's Jonah Griffin! Storm 34, KC 12 http://t.co/jkvr3DgvzL
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
Storm Gold has all but locked up spot in championship game vs Storm Blue. This makes 5 straight undefeated runs through @NCHBCLive tourneys!
— HomeSchoolBasketball (@NCHBCLive) October 31, 2014
Storm Gold went on to win and advance to the Tip-Off championship game. But like last year, the two teams passed on the "intra-squad" game. After all, they can play each other in practice. And more importantly, they will now combine to form one team. One dynamite team!
