The 1st annual golf tournament was a complete success. The day began with a wonderful BBQ lunch and the players had the opportunity to meet one of the scholarship recipients Mr. Adam Stephens and his parents. Just as the shotgun start was scheduled mother nature sent through a fast shower to cool things down for us but did not dampen the spirit and enthusiam of the day. A simple thanks doesn't seem to express the gratitude that the alumni association feels for each of the players, the sponsors, and the volunteers who made this first tournament a wonderful success and a lasting memory for us all. We look forward to next year and hope that we are once again able to spend some more time with all of our new friends we made today. The Rossville spirit is still alive BE ROSSVILLE !
