Revamped semi-pro basketball team launches community-driven 2026 pilot season focused on
opportunity, outreach, and local pride.
After months of planning and preparation, the Walnut Valley Bombers have officially announced their return as Cowley County’s semi-pro basketball team. With a new brand identity, the Bombers are entering the next stage of development as they gear up for their 2026 pilot season.
Founded to create a platform for local athletes and inspire the next generation of players, the Bombers are operated under Midtown Basketball Co., a regional basketball organization dedicated to athletic and community development.
The Bombers’ mission extends beyond basketball. The team is entering the community engagement
phase before finalizing roster and league registration. The team plans to host youth outreach events, promote learning initiatives in local schools, and collaborate with area businesses to drive tourism and economic activity throughout Cowley County.
“This is more than basketball — it’s about creating opportunity and pride for our community,”
said Tyler O’Quinn, Founder, Managing Partner & Governor, President of Basketball
Operations & General Manager. “We’re building something that belongs to Cowley County.”
