SPORTS RMSB Memorial Day Tourny
Following the Spanish Fork Dons 5A State Championship, four of the six age division champions of the RMSB Memorial Day Tournament were from the Spanish Fork/Salem area. The four winning teams were: Spanish Fork Legends 8u, Spanish Fork Heat 11u, Spanish Fork Diamondbacks 12u, and the Salem Avalanche 13u.
Most of these teams had to battle through age pools of nearly 40 teams across the State. Congratulations to these great kids!
The SF Diamondbacks would like to thank the following for their generous support.
