I went to the Beaneater and all I got was this lousy T-shirt

The 5th annual Beaneater lacrosse tournament was this past Saturday. Considering the money lost in last years event, it didn't look like it was going happen this year, until Brand Knew stepped in. Of course much respect has to be hurled at my SB counterparts, Greg Nice, Bobby Scooter and BC. The tournament had some great talent including a good amount of division 1 lacrosse players. The Grand Island team had a pretty good showing. After going down 1-5 to South Buffalo in the first game we stormed back to win 6-5. Another year of bragging rights for this guy! In the finals was Frank Resatarits Southtown club vs. the always tough Auburn squad. Considering I was the only volunteer official still around the officiating was horrible but the gameplay was good. Faceoffs told the story as Southtowns won 3/4 of them. Unfortunately we made a new rule where the food and drinks weren't to be served until after the championship game. Last year the winning team only got 2 pitchers worth. This year all the losers besides my team went home early. Everyone did pay the same amount but it would have been nice to have a bigger party. We learn from our mistakes so hopefully we can adjust things to accommodate everyone. Circle August 5, 2006 on your calendar for the 6th annual Beaneater!
