7 on 7 Passing Tournament Needs Volunteers

The 6th annual 7 on 7 passing tournament will be hosted by the West Carroll Thunder Football team, the West Carroll Jr. Tackle program, and the West Carroll Sports Boosters on Saturday, July 25 at the West Carroll Middle School in Mt. Carroll. This tournament is a fund-raising project for both football programs and the boosters.

We have several teams participating again this year. Our tournament is well-known in the area because of the great help of all our volunteers. Volunteers manage fields in teams of three and will receive a T-shirt for their help throughout the day. Please help our football program by volunteering your time on Saturday. Call Coach Dave Baisden at 815-273-4931 or 815-631-6785 to sign up to help. An orientation meeting will be held Thursday, July 23 at 6:45 p.m. at the high school in Savanna for all volunteers.
