"As always, this event will feature some of the best teams and players in the state. This event wouldn't be possible without the cooperation of local teams, sponsors and our headline partner, Culver's. In addition, I want to give a special thanks to the community of Salem for their willingness to host the event. Their school and community leaders have been spectacular to work with."
