Langston Hosea Bell Red Dirt Classic

Devon Park will open its 2025 schedule of events on Friday, February 28, as the Langston Hosea Bell Red Dirt Classic returns to the Softball Capital of the World® for an action-packed two day round robin event. Hosted by Langston University, the tournament will feature a number collegiate programs from across the Midwest, including historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and schools from the state of Oklahoma.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with USA Softball to host this tournament at the premier softball facility in the United States, it has always been our dream to encourage young minority girls of all ages to play softball,” Langston University Director of Athletics Donnita Rogers noted. “This classic was the brainchild of our former head softball coach, Hosea Bell, over seven years ago and we look forward to continuing his legacy by hosting this tournament every year.”
