I like this, especially the one they have here every year. It's well organized and well run by everybody. Saturday's tournament was a qualifier for the state tournament, but there will also be two more tournaments in Abilene later this summer. Part of the reason for its success can be attributed to the work of Team Hendrick Sports. We tried to take on a lot of the administration duties and have everything ready so that when it came to game day they would handle the running of the tournament smoothly.
Injuries are an obvious concern of the varsity coaches.
Smith said along with the normal ankle sprains, last year he treated two players for a broken ankle and a broken arm. But I guess, in reality, you can get hurt crossing the street. The thing about this tournament is if someone does get hurt or banged up there's enough time before the season starts for them to get healed. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved.
