Alex Holmes 7pts
Youth Minor

Derek Leitner (newplayer) 9pts
Forest Reece 4pts
This was a small field of youth this year and I see that these young players really love this game.I would encourage all of you to stop and look at what you can do to help the young players.If you have children or even grandchildren all it takes is a hour a day to get involved. These young players are our future.
Playing time tomorrow will begin at 9am.
total of 7 rds

Alex was lucky enough to have to wins against Josh but he did not keep the wins. A couple of those games he played like a strong major player.
