Another Las Vegas Finale Happens This Week--(Aug.3, 1998)

We're not sure who is going, but after the Big Time, after the Las Vegas Grand Finale, after the open evaluation period has ended, and finally, after all the college coaches have gone back home, there's still one more tourament left to be played in Vegas, a small gathering run by Mae Fischer, and (we hear) assisted by Pat Inch, the same folks who do the Nike Easter Classic spring tournament in Vegas. We understand from talking with a couple of youth and club coaches that this one is for the younger kids, 14-U and below, although there might also be a high school division too. We know that 4-D is taking a team, and if we can get some more information on the event we'll post it up. For now, we're pretty sure it runs from the 4th through the 9th of August. We also heard that SCA was going to take the 14-U team which won the AAU National Championship, but when we asked Pat Barrett about it on Saturday in San Diego, he told us that SCA was not going to Vegas. However, some of the players were informed that SCA was going, so we'll have to wait and see. Reynaldo Henry of 4-D Stars has promised to give us an update on the tournament, and as soon as we get it we'll let everyone know.
