The tournament is Friday, June 13, with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

Two $1,500 scholarships are awarded each year to Limestone students, who are honored at the annual banquet. This year’s banquet is Saturday, June 14, at Athens State.

“All the money we raise goes to scholarships for deserving athletes in Limestone County,” said board member Jeff Hodges. “With this year’s awards, we will have given $30,000 to local athletes.”
