Earlier this month a Bates County Family suffered a devastating house fire, our community has continued to rally around the Huff family and attempted to blanket them in love over the past month while they face this tragic time.
A group of local folks organized a Slow-pitch Softball Benefit Tournament to raise money for this family. This tournament raised right at $5,000, ALL of which was donated directly to the Huff family.
The tournament was organized by Hunter Green, Alex Swatosh, Cody Morris, Derek Dunn, and Shawn Mayfield. Butler Sonic served as a sponsor for the tournament, donating funds for tournament expenses, and the Elks Lodge served food for donations that all went back to the Huff Family as well.
The tournament saw 9 teams enter! The team led by Shawn Mayfield (Balls Deep) was victorious at the end of the day, while McGhee Septic came in 2nd.
