Wildcat Head Coach Bill Carter says those taking part were excited to compete in the inaugural event.
He says game action serves as a great way to prepare teams as opposed to normal practices.
“We’ve been participating in summer league scrimmages all summer, but pretty much wearing T-shirts and it’s a scrimmage,” Carter said. “This is a little more formal environment. Putting the uniforms on, keeping score. Our region officials are using this as a training event also. I just think it brings a little more formal environment, gets the girls a little more competitive, which is always a big help for the season.”

Carter says he hopes to keep the event going in the future and draw even more schools to take part.
