CHANDLER LIONS
OUTLOOK
Coming off a solid campaign, the Chandler Lions boys’ basketball team looks to build momentum this season as they represent their community with grit and purpose. Located in Chandler, Oklahoma, the Lions compete in Class 3A and have shown they have the ingredients to climb higher.
Season Recap
The Lions closed the 2024-25 season with a hard-fought loss to the Sequoyah Eagles at the state tournament, 59-56. That tight game underscored the Lions ability to compete at a high
level under pressure. Along the way, Chandler posted wins such as 85-43 over Beggs, 76-41 over Pawnee and 60-36 over Stroud. Their narrow postseason exit fuels this year’s motivation.
Looking Ahead
Chandler begins its 2025-26 slate with several key match ups on the road, including dates at Stroud and Tecumseh. Their goal this year is to convert close losses into wins and make a deeper run in the playoffs.
Defining Identity
This Lions squad plays with a disciplined edge, showing a willingness to defend hard and control the tempo. The program emphasizes community pride and teamwork, two
fundamentals instilled by the coaching staff and school culture. Expect young athletes to step into larger roles with increased contribution on both ends of the floor.
Key Players and Leadership
While full roster details for the 2025-26 season are still being posted, Chandler’s returning core offers experience and stability.
Final Thoughts
The Chandler Lions enter the new season with confidence, knowing they came within a possession of advancing further last year. If they tighten up execution in crunch moments and maintain their defensive identity, they have the potential to make noise in 3A.
