The annual Redneck Rumble lacrosse tournament saw three local teams cap off the weekend with medals.
Tournament coordinator Pamela Seabrook could not be any happier with the outcome of all the teams performances.
“Our teams gave it their all. The coaches there and the kids are busting from morning until night,” said Seabrook.
She was getting compliments from teams in the tournament on how great the event was.
“(Teams) said it was the most fun they’ve had a tournament this year,” said Seabrook. “We try to get new teams here. We pick just because we want new people and everyone gets a chance and we had some hard teams this year.”
The behind-the-scenes work was what made the tournament run smoothly.
“We had an amazing RIC, which was helpful, all the parents that showed up for our raffle table was super, I mean it was the biggest one we’ve had yet,” said Seabrook.
The help from the local business community went a long way with helping cover costs for team apparel.
The sportsmanship displayed by each team was a great sight to see.
“The kids all got along, they enjoyed it immensely running around,” said Seabrook.
There is a tradition every year at this tournament to give out the Lucas Loftus Award to the midget player who best exemplifies passion and spirit of the game.
“His mom came out and did that. Keenan Brown won that this year, he’s our midget boy and it shows the most heart and soul,” Seabrook.
She predicted that the success of teams at this tournament would bode well for the future of the event.
