How surprising was that?  The forecast “light dusting” of snow that took place at my house was something all together different as I approached Casady School early Saturday morning just 4 miles to the east.  Most of the localized snow dump took place just as teams were arriving, but by the start of the tournament, there was only the 30 MPH wind and bitter wind chill with which to contend.

But everybody took it in stride and Casady hosted a great tournament.  Only one event had to be cancelled!

The next Invitational tournament will take place February 6th at Murray State College in Tishomingo.
