Assembly of God tournament Preview

With the regular season under its belt, Resurrection Life travels to Burnsville Saturday to partake in the annual Bloomington Assembly of God Church tournament. The games are being held at Lac Lavon Park this season which is a beautiful softball complex.

Resurrection Life enters the tournament a little short-handed but not short-willed. Coming off a dominant regular season has not left this team complacent. In fact, the season-ending loss the Warriors suffered has left a bad taste in the team's mouth and it will look to refresh its pallet with the taste of victory again soon.

The team opens with Real Life at 8 AM on Field F tomorrow. After that game, the Warriors will complete its round-robin pool with games at 10 AM and 1 PM against Life AG and Waukesha.

Once those three games have been played, three separate single-elimination tournaments will start. The 'Top' bracket will feature four top-flight softball teams and the top four teams that come out of the 12 teams in the 'Middle' pools. Resurrection Life will be one of the 12 teams in the 'Middle' pools. There will be eight teams in the 'Lower' pools that will have their own tournament in the afternoon as well.

The 'Middle' pool will give its four best teams to the 'Top' pool and the remaining eight will have a single-elimination tournament to end the afternoon. Games could start as late as 5 PM or 5:30 PM depending on how well the team is playing.

Rez enters the tournament with a simple objective: To dominate its three round-robin games and show the 'Top' teams that Rez can roll with the big boys.

Come to Lac Lavon to see how it all plays out.
