2009 State All-Star Tournament Recap

The 2009 All-Star Tournament began with a site never seen before; the presence of four State Championship Trophies at the Opening Ceremonies. As most know, last year inclement weather at the 2008 State Tournament host by OSO, ended the Tournament prematurely with the announcement of Teenage Co-Champions.

The parade of teams at the Delco Events Center culminated with the entrance of the Junior State Championship Trophy and the Senior State Championship Trophy carried in by Northwest Corpus Christi and the Teenage Division Trophies hoisted by Northwest Austin and Southside. With the greatest of anticipation the 2009 State All-Star Tournament was declared open by Corporation President Tina Saenz.
