Tulsa 66ers Name New President

Thereâ€™s a new man at the helm of the Tulsa 66ers. Tulsa businessman Jono Helmerich has been named the teamâ€™s new president. Helmerich is part owner of the team along with several other local business leaders. He will replace Joe Berry, whoâ€™s held the job for 22 months. Berry is leaving to take a position with N3 Capital of Fort Worth, Texas.

â€œThis is a special organization, and I am proud to have led it for nearly two years, â€œBerry said. â€œIn that time, the team has laid a sturdy foundation and became an active community partner. I am sad to leave, but I know Jono is uniquely positioned to take this team to the next level.â€

â€œThe fact is that Joe has done a great job with getting this team up and running,â€ said Helmerich. â€œWhat weâ€™re doing now is a natural transition from my role as an active investor and my devotion to the Tulsa community to make this team a success.â€

The Tulsa 66ers lost to the Idaho Stampede Tuesday night, 91-84.
