Good looking tourney.

Ravenwood is wearing out these early tournaments. Second one in first 3 weeks. That will build some depth!!!

Any predictions?

I would pick a williamson county team.

I'd pick Ravenwood to win it but Indy does have the home field so it will be interesting. This is a good indicator of how teams will look when faced with some real competition

I think Ravenwood's perfect record will end this weekend. It's not reasonable to expect they'll win 5 games over the course of 3 days.

Well, looking at the weather, I'm thinking this year's tourney is going to be just as wet as last year. It was a mud bowl last year. The ball literally hit the ground and just stuck. If I'm not mistaken, It tore Indy's game field up so bad that they couldn't use it for the rest of the year. It's supposed to rain today, thursday, and friday. I hope it doesn't but that will change things if it does

Will the tournament be played no matter what?

It was last year

[goblue]

It was last year

 

That will make for some interesting and wild games. Should be fun for the players, maybe not for the parents...

I asked phillips and he said that if the weather was like it was last year there wont be a tourney this year

and indy was able to use their field after last years tourney

[PHILLIPS]

Wow, just thinking about last year's "Mud Bowl" makes me cringe. After last year's Tournament we roled the field, then put 3 truck loads of sand on the field and reseeded 400 lbs of Winter Rye. We were able to play on it after about 14 days, but it was never the same.

 

We will try and get as many games in, but we can't ruin the field like we did last year. Time will tell...
