Newton County's Reagan Warren won a 500 dollar scholarship. Monty McMullen is the Meridian-based club team's foudner.

"The credit goes to (players) them, because they put in the work. Their parents put in the work. It's a lot of sacrifice. This is kinda the topic of it," says McMullen. "We wanted to take our elite talent as older players and get them all the opportunities we could."
