This particular tournament took place in the beautiful state of Arkansas.

The tournament was full of friends and fun.

ARC experienced a lot of success in the form of awards and accomplishments

But more importantly, ARC’s success came from a whole lot of people doing their best, and giving the glory to God.

The end.

Cool shoes
Toni (for the 17th time today): “Give a man a fish…”

Enjoying Wendy’s

That’s all for now…prayers for safety, energy, and Christ-like attitudes the whole tournament would be appreciated.  Until next time, this is Toni, signing off.

I’m getting ready for yet another tournament, the Arkansas Qualifer. It’s the last tournament before Regionals, and I’m really excited about going. Me and my sister are leaving tomorrow morning with the Clarksons for the long ride up. It will be awesome! Anyway…until the tournament’s over.
