I am putting together a all 3-a tournamnet next year The first weekend of playing dates. We just put together a 28 team tourney on three fields and It went really smooth. We will have two grass stadium fields and one turf field next Year. If u are intrested or know of a 3-a school can u email and let me know I want as many schools as possible ( kind of like a 3-a State Tourney) My name is Whitney Keeling and my Email is wkeeling@pgisd.net We have 7 schools entered already

Thurs-Sat or Fri & Sat?

Boys, Girls or both?

Doesn't Kennedale already do an annual 3a tourney?

Your starting to see more and more 3A's choose to put on their own tourney's and who could blame them. I think it would be cool to see who the BEST 3A's were in the state. Good luck on setting the tournament up.

Kennedale has only one field. So it is hard to do more than 12 or so.. Thurs-Sat. Hopefully I can get 25 -40 teams That would be great. If it works out I would organize a girls tourney on a different weekend

I have a bunch of teams already committed or intrested.
Teams
P.G
L.E
Pittsburg
Atlanta
Waco La Vega
Lufkin Hudson
Hardin Jefferson Sour Lake
Hammshire Fannett
Silsbee
Paris?
Paris North Lamar?
Diboll?

Keep getting the word out I figure as the season ends and everybody starts working on there schedule next year we will have more teams. Godd luck on all of your seasons. Coach Keeling

Hopefully next year kennedale will have 2 fields but I'm not holding my breath on that one. They say they're going to fix our junior high field.

I went to the Texarkana tournament and there were no problems at all. Everything is close by. The game times were able to stay on track because they had enough fields.

That's the biggest problem we had this year at our tournament (Kennedale). We had 16 teams with 1 field (turf) and refs would take too long coming back between games or halftime. That adds up and by the end of the night you're almost a game behind. It was never the teams. Teams were ready and on the field at game time but no refs.

BTW, will palestine still host a 3A girls tournament the 1st weekend next year?

Keep the topic going The dates are Jan.14-16

I have 16 Teams committed. Looks like Probably between 20-30 Teams by Next Year


Email If u are intrested Coach Keeling Wkeeling@pgisd.net

i think that sumthin rly good to do by puttin 3A schoolz in a tourney by themselvez, because itz not that fair to throw them in with all of the 4A teamz for a chance to win state. Itz called 4A for a reazon, no offense but 3A jus doeznt belong in the same playoff bracket az 4A schoolz because itz jus too hard for them. We should make a 3A state tourney for 3A schoolz and give more 3A schoolz a chance

Good luck on the tourny
