In Memory of former IASCA president Steve Young.

I have ran this tournament for the past 15 years. I understand Steve ran this tournament for about 20 years before I did. I took the tournament over from Steve as he passed away the night of the Cedar Rapids Leather Jackets. He won his last game.

This year we had a special throwback this year. Former Iowa State Girls Champion Sarah Faith Carson texted me a couple months ago. She asked if I had any use for her old trophies. She was getting married and needed to clean out her stuff and asked if I wanted them. I said yes and she brought them to my porch. I replated them and got them ready for the tournament. I texted later to say thank you and send her a wedding gift. I found out that the wedding was the day of the tournament.

At the tournament, Parents were extremely pleased with the quality of the trophies. I pointed out the trophies were from the 2010's what I call the golden age of trophies. I had all the kids make a thank you card.

Well back to the action.
