Mid-East
Region Honorable Mention:
Caitlin Dresing, Campbellsville University
Jessi Jakes, Covenant College
Felicia Marmo, Bluefield College
Our region was blessed to have THREE teams
receive bids to Nationals: Campbellsville University, our region
champion, enters the national tournament as the #2 seed overall. King
College, our region runners-up, will enter as the #5 seed. Bryan
College received an at-large bid and will enter as the #8 seed.
Blessings to all three teams – much success and represent the Mid-East
well!
Coaches, I was glad to step forward for
the sake of our players and teams who have worked so hard and deserve
recognition. However, if anyone would like to serve in the future
please feel free to talk to me. I will meet with Bob White, our
national chair, during the tournament to find out what other duties
are entailed. I do not mind staying on for another year with JP Rader
as Vice chair for our region, just so we can have everything covered
next year. I would love to have one or two coaches shadow us, though,
so we can train others to serve in this capacity.
Hats off to Covenant College for running a
solid tournament with 7 TEAMS. If you have any suggestions for future
tourneys, please let me know so that we can help make next year’s
tournament top this one.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Leo
