For any team that is not busy or already in another tournament, I would suggest being a part of this tournament. Not only will it be at a beautiful, new facility, but there will also be some outstanding and competitive teams there as well(many of whom have represented at State in the last couple of years). However, the most important reason I can give to be a part of this tournament is to honor the memory of a great young woman named Sarah Beth Whitehead. I personally knew Sarah Beth and watched her grow up from a child. She was an outstanding young person, who strived to be her best and live her life for Christ. During National Donor's Week, she was recognized at Vanderbilt for her gifts, both in life and in death. I really can't stress enough how special she was and is to the people of Jackson, and I hope that you can join us in celebrating her too at this tournament. Thank-you.
