Thanks for playing!
Thanks for everyone's patience Friday and Saturday with all of Mother Nature's dabbling. I'm glad we didn't have to cancel anything and only shorten scoring in some rounds. Please visit the photographer's website to see if she was able to get some good pics of you or your player(s). We will have the Eastern Iowa Futures in 2011 as well as a fall Boys 16s futures in October of 2011 in Iowa City. Hope to see you there!***********Mark Blume
