A huge shout out goes to all the parents and volunteers that helped out this past weekend at our tournament. It was a great day of basketball and it would not have been as smooth as it was without you all. There are too many people to list, but you know who you are. Thank you all and it was greatly appreciated to see everyone helping out to allow our boys to play a tournament on our campus. See you all this week and Go Mustangs!!
