After a successful two-day 7-on-7 passing league at Hampton Friday and Saturday, the league closed out the event with a tournament championship.
The last two teams standing was Happy Valley and Hampton and even though Hampton had beaten the Warriors earlier in the day, it was Happy Valley that came out on the end of a 2-1 win in the 20-minute timed tournament finale.
The competition was no different than regular-season action as both teams played with enthusiasm and left it all out on the field in attempts to make mid-season plays.
It left fans in attendance realizing what will be ahead when the regular-season kicks off in less than 40 days.
