Cornhole tournament

 Cornhole tournament blog 

The cornhole tournament was a complete blast! The competition was limited but everyone had so much fun. Blake Jordan and William Marsh won the tournament at ease and both walk awaywith gift cards to two venues.  

 

Getting ready for the tournament was a challenge. The tent and other supplies that I was going to use fell through at the last minute. Thanks to God’s sovereignty, some family friends were generous enough to let me use theirs.  Because of the rain, the tournament ended up being held in Langston’s Student Center. 

 

The space was perfect for the five competing teams. I learned that even with limited teams the tournament still lasted around 2 and half hours. What a joy it was to talk to everyone there and make friends and share more in what I’m doing in Mexico. 

 

Even though some of my childhood friends were there, I loved meeting people I had never talked to before a finding common ground on how important it is to spread God’s love and message to the rest of the world. People I had never met informed me they are supporting me. I can’t wait to get to know God more, and make Him known. 

 

Everyone loved the double elimination style of play because it gave more opportunity to play. Midway through, everyone took a break to grab some pizza. We had cold drinks and waters available for anyone and everyone seemed to have a great time. One thing I really enjoyed about the cornhole tournament is that it was so much fun but simple to facilitate. 

 

Dollar distance bags were a hit and so much fun to watch. It was so cool to see the expression on someone’s face when they made it from distance and received a gift card. 

 

The cornhole tournament raised around $600 that will go to my mission in Mazatlan Mexico. I am so excited and thankful for the support I received from the tourna
