In 2002, former South Grand Prairie HS center fielder Matt Dozier was paralyzed in an accident. Every Fall since, SGP has held a benefit tournament with all of the proceeds going to Matt and his family. All workers including umpires, concession, and field maintenance have volunteered their time and efforts to make this happen. Each year several high profile select teams, along with high school teams, participate in the 3-day tournament.
We would love to have your teams play in the tournament this year. The dates are set for November 13-15. The registration is $375 per team (100% goes to Matt).
Until we get a feel for how many teams are interested, we will not be certain of how many teams and what style of tournament we will have. The last two years we were able to have a 16-team Varsity division and 8-team JV division.
Obviously we would like to be able to have as many teams as possible. Last year we used 4 fields (Northwood University, SGPHS, GPHS, Apache Field) but would love to be able to expand.
Last year's tournament brought in the most amount of money that this tournament has ever raised for Matt.
Teams that played last year:
South Grand Prairie HS - Irving Macarthur HS - Arlington Bowis HS - Frisco Liberty HS - Irving HS - Wylie HS - Cedar Hill HS - Burleson HS - Dallas D'backs - SC Spikes - Birdville HS - Mesquite Poteet HS - Grapevine HS - K9 Sports - Texas Dukes - Apaches - Midlothian Extreme - GP Gamblers
