So I'm going on vacation for a week in Gulf Shores Alabama. Leaving this Friday and trying to get this out of the way ahead of time. I'll have my iphone and ipad and expect to only login to HD early in the mornings and sometimes late in the evenings. So post here or sitemail me if you accept your invitation.
This will be the
19th season of The Yarnell Invitational (named after Yarnell Ice Cream in Searcy, AR). As always, it'll be a 6 team round-robin tournament that'll occur in weeks
5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the non-conference schedule. Harding University will be the tournament host. The defending champ from the previous year is an automatic qualifier. The remainder of the field is invitation only based on alblack's dynasty rankings. Link to latest and greatest is at:
