Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry

The Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry is a professional basketball team based in Lawton, Oklahoma. They played in the Premier Basketball League after having been in the Continental Basketball Association. They have one PBL championship and also are the two time champions of the CBA. The original team was known as the Oklahoma City Cavalry, which competed in the CBA in Oklahoma City from 1990 to 1997 – when they were League Champions. Rochester won the first game of the best of three 2011 championship series 105–101 (in Rochester on April 15, 2011).

The new Oklahoma Cavalry, which incidentally was originally supposed to be a reincarnation and called Oklahoma City Cavalry, began play in 2007. The team was originally scheduled to play in the American Basketball Association. The team wanted to play at Abe Lemons Arena on the campus of Oklahoma City University however the university backed out. Due to the lack of support from Oklahoma City and city officials' desire for a permanent NBA franchise, the owners decided to look elsewhere to place the new Cavalry franchise. The team then decided to move operations to Lawton, OK, and to play at the Great Plains Coliseum.

Less than two years later, Oklahoma City got their NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
