MVPs For Alumni Tourney Weekend


Another DHS Alumni Tournament weekend has come and gone.  Unfortunately, none of the Times staff was able to see the tournament action this year, but we heard there were several exciting games, including a few buzzer beaters that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

Alumni weekend is an important weekend that brings together the DHS alumni brotherhood (and sisterhood) for fun, laughs and conversation.  It also is important to our main street and business community, as well as the DHS athletic program.  

So this year, we are naming the 2014 DHS Alumni Tournament MVPs -- the sponsors of the tournament:

Ben's Iron Grill 2
Heath Sports and Tees (Crete)
Stutzman Digging
Farmers Cooperative
First State Bank
Spring Creek Repair and Farm Supply
Runza (Crete)
BZ Construction
Clark's Lawn Service 
City Slickers Bar and Grill
Papik Seeds
Holly Well Drilling
Barley's Specialties
Rains Simmentals
Weber Feedyards, LLC
Velder's Taxidermy
Novak Auction Service

Without these sponsors, the tournament would not be possible.  Nor would adequate money be raised to benefit current and future Dorchester students.

Be sure to thank these sponsors and patronize their businesses.

We also want to name the volunteers of the Dorchester Community Foundation as MVPs due to their hard work.  This year's steak and hamburger feed -- held Saturday night -- was the most successful feed yet.   All the Times staff were there, and we know firsthand that this event was made possible by selfless volunteers who gave up their Saturday to benefit our community.  We even heard reports of Foundation volunteers cleaning up the community hall and Legion building after midnight on Sunday morning.  That's dedication!

Congratulations to all the players, fans and alumni who made it back for this year's tourney.  We're grateful for your dedication to Dorchester.
