Recap of the Great Lakes Regional

The Great Lakes Regional has come and gone and it was a great event.  The top 20 teams from the Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Appalachia Districts came together and quizzed 2 days, (19 rounds! yipes).

   Ohio had all four of it's Top-4 go and participate in the meet looking for Nationals Qualification.  What they found was a very competitive group.  The Great Lakes Region has the honor of being the toughest Region in the country, based on last year's Nationals Results.  (Teams from our region placed higher cumulatively than teams from any other region.)

   But Ohio did not disappoint and what we ended up with was all 4 of our Top-4 placing high enough to qualify for Nationals with Dayspring (Bowling Green) taking 3rd in the whole tournament!   So we say congratulations to Dayspring, Poland, Cincinnati 1st, & Destiny (Dayton) on a great tournament.  You have honored the churches and teams of Ohio with your great play and greater examples of sportsmanship and Christ-like attitudes.  Click HERE for full Regional Results

   As the Holy Spirit leads, if you would remember these teams in prayer and lift them up, that the rest of their expenses and preparation for the National Meet (June 10-12).
