On behalf of Kent Froebe and I, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the 2026 John Welsh Memorial Tournament such a tremendous success. To our participating teams and coaches….we thank you for your sportsmanship, preparation, and passion for the game. The level of competition, respect, and camaraderie displayed throughout the weekend reflects the very best of what athletics can offer.

To our incredible volunteers and tournament workers….your time, energy, and commitment behind the scenes ensured everything ran smoothly. We are deeply appreciative and grateful to everyone. This event simply cannot be done without all of your efforts. We are especially grateful to our local businesses for your generous support and sponsorship. Your investment in our tournament demonstrates the strength and unity of our community. We encourage everyone to continue supporting the businesses that support our youth.
