I posted this on another thread, but this crew deserves their own thread in appreciation of their efforts.... ?Here is ?what I posted..
The Marion Rebellion tournament got hammered by 7" of rain in a little over a week including a drencher on Friday night. ?I saw a pic sent via cell ?phone of a volunteer in the wee hours on Fri PM/Sat AM setting up an industrial sized pump ?in the middle of a field. ?The water was half way up to his knee!!!!!
They changed the start time from 10am Sat to 4PM Sat. ?The games were shortened from 1:20 to 1:00 drop dead.
The games ALL started at 4:00 and by the end of the day Sunday, ALL games were played and ended pretty much on time on Sunday, with the championship games going a full 7. ?When I saw the pic, I thought "NO WAY" we will play Saturday. ?A friend told me... hold off on your prediction. ?The Rebellion crew worked THROUGH the night and by 4:00 the next day - all games were played. ?I would have bet my house that would never happen. ?I will NEVER doubt the staff at the Marion Rebellion tournament which is a Pony qualifier.
Next year, when teams are making their schedules, remember the tournaments that bust their unmentionables to do right by the girls. ?Mark this one down as a given. ?I am proud that my team play in this venue. ?I have the upmost respect and appreciation for Brian and his Rebellion staff. ?Hats off to a classy and caring group of people.
