A reporter for Men’s Health learned about Choctaw Stickball and had to come see it for himself. He attended a Pearl River practice and talked to coaches and players.

For the Choctaw nation in Mississippi, playing stickball is much more than a game.

The 2025 World Series Stickball (WSS) All-Star Stickball Games was held on Tuesday evening, August 5th. The program began with Opening Ceremonies, as Tribal Chief Cyrus Ben and 2025-2026 Choctaw Indian Princess Lexi Camille Rodriguez offered everyone a warm welcome. In his remarks, Chief Ben reminded everyone of the importance and sacredness of our Mother Mound and our rich cultural heritage. Pastor Thomas Ben, who also serves as the WSS Commissioner, gave the invocation, and Choctaw youth Paeton Gibson sang the National Anthem in the Choctaw language. The Men’s 50 and Over Exhibition Game was then played, followed by the Women’s and Men’s All-Star Games.

Congratulations to the Fichik Malata Men’s 50 and Over team and Fichik Malata Ohoyo and Fichik Cito All-Star teams on their victories, and congratulations to Kylinn Bell and Malata Stoliby on being named MVP for the Women’s and Men’s All-Star Games, respectively!!!
