A big thanks to all our volunteers that helped us out this weekend, if it weren’t for them, this tournament would not run so smoothly. So much work, time and planning goes into running a tournament and it really wouldn’t be possible without them. Also thanks to all our community sponsors and partners. With tough economic times hitting everyone, our sponsors have really stepped up to the plate to help the team out. Thanks to all the teams that made the Shootout another success. Every year we seem to get a strong field of teams that are world class both on and off the field and this year was no different.
