\u201cI thought (the tournament) went outstanding, the competition level of both the girls and boys who participated was outstanding. It was so packed here and everyone was thrilled and courteous. It was a great event, and we were privileged to have them here,\u201d said Ken Henson, athletic director for the Tioga County Boys and Girls Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event was fabulous and we had a great turnout, hundreds of people each day. A lot of parents and families and friends and fans of the teams were here and everyone seemed to enjoy it, we were crowded all weekend,\u201d said Dennis Curatolo, interim executive director for the Tioga County Boys and Girls Club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with earning money for the Boys and Girls Club through rental fees, Curatolo said the event was important for the Boys and Girls Club because it allowed the non-profit to showcase itself to people who may not have been there before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great because it opens up the facility for more kids to get in here, and brings us a lot more exposure as well,\u201d Curatolo said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
