From Friday through Sunday, twelve teams battled it out across three divisions, showcasing thrilling displays of skill, determination, and sportsmanship.

Adding to the festivities, a lively homecoming dance extended well into the wee hours, featuring the tunes of Mike, our favorite disc jockey. Lions members were out in full force, serving up refreshments and fostering the vibrant community atmosphere that has become synonymous with the tournament.
The success of the event would not have been possible without the generous support of the local business community.
