Mid-Florida will be hosting the State Tournament A21 on March 6th and also the TOC on March 9th. They will be offering a bake sale and lunch for everyone present. Come and enjoy. See you there.
Ok, so through a technicality, I must apologize to Rex and all others. I placed the ND09 in the order of numbers not when it was played, therefore Rex did not qualify until January 2023, so he will be induced into the ND Hall of Fame at the Masters 2024 Tournament/Banquet.
We would like to Congratulate Rex Galusha for earning his 200 points necessary to qualify for induction into the Northern District Hall of Fame at the Masters banquet.
