This was one of the largest fields Valdosta has ever had for its tournament, with 23 teams competing. Scarbor said everything went smoothly with the tournament.

“I had a lot of compliments from coaches,” he said. “My mat girls did an outstanding job running the tournament, along with the head table workers and (everyone else). A lot of people came together to put on a good tournament. I’d like to thank everybody that had a part in that — restaurants, sponsors, head table workers, anyone else. It’s a lot of work to put on a tournament of this magnitude.”
