**Last 3 games to begin 30 minutes after preceding game

If you want to hear an incredible number, think about this. This is a JV tourney which has gotten little to no pub and has raised over $100,000 in 5 years. That’s amazing.

I hope this is ok to do here but you can go on their website and purchase raffle items to benefit the fundraiser. Great stuff. Drew's Puzzle Piece –. Not a great forecast for Saturday so I know Coach is counting on the raffle.

Hope they get it in because on a baseball side, CCH is playing well right now and was looking forward to seeing Ryle, Birds and Tigers for first time.

Still on. CCH won 1st game

All four games in. Winners were CCH, Ryle, Conner and CCH again. Not sure of scores but all went 7.

Thanks for the update on winners, dpeevh.
