McU Sports plays in Reno

The McU Sports Major team played the Reno Qualifier in late May. This is the first season McU's has played in the major division. Ken Rhodes, the McU manager says playing majors is quite different than playing AA or AAA, because all the major teams have good power and speed.

Enterprise plays in Reno

The Enterprise Electric AA team played the Reno Qualifier in late May. EE did very well in the tournament, highlighted by two wins against Scrap Iron, a very good team out of Colorado. Enterprise will play the Senior National Tournament in Salt Lake City in August.
