Teams
Please assure your kids get the most coverage possible by sharing scores and stats. Send pictures of both pages of the scorebook by midnight each night to centralgasports@gmail.com, and/or post scores and stats (please use players’ names and not social media handles, since many give no indication who the player is, thus stifling their accomplishments).
