GableGotwals Assists Crossover Prep in OSSAA Approval

March 3, 2026 | GableGotwals attorneys Adam Doverspike and Chris Shrock assisted Crossover Preparatory Academy (CPA) in securing membership in the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA), allowing the school to compete as an OSSAA member.

CPA is a Christian, college-preparatory secondary school that provides hope and opportunity to students in north Tulsa. Rooted in a mission of faith, reconciliation, and love, CPA is dedicated to empowering and equipping young men to thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.

Since opening its doors in 2017, Crossover Prep has developed a broad athletics program across multiple sports as part of its commitment to supporting student growth both on and off the field. Following OSSAA approval in 2025, the school began competing as a member in cross country, basketball, tennis, and track through OSSAA competition. This membership marks a significant milestone for the school, expanding competitive opportunities for student-athletes and complementing its first-class facilities, close-knit community, and faith-based mission serving north Tulsa.

“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity this creates for our students,” said Philip Abode, Executive Director of Crossover Preparatory Academy. “OSSAA membership represents an exciting next chapter in the growth of our athletics program. It allows our student-athletes to further develop teamwork, discipline, and confidence as they compete and represent their school and community in the state’s primary high school sports association.”

We look forward to cheering on the Lions as they compete alongside other OSSAA member schools.
