West Morgan Lady Rebels to Host Soccer Tournament at Jack Allen Recreation Complex March 7-8

The River City Shoot-Out returns to the Jack Allen Recreation Complex in Decatur March 7-8, 2014. Hosted by the West Morgan Lady Rebels, the competitive high school varsity girls soccer tournament made its debut in 2013 with eight area high school teams competing.

Sanctioned by the Alabama High School Athletic Association, the River City Shoot-out will use a pool play format. After the success of the inaugural tournament in 2013, eight teams are registered to compete in this year’s tournament. Registration is closed and teams to compete include defending champion Sparkman High, Grissom High, Lee High, Madison County High, Arab High, East Limestone High, Florence High, and Mars Hill High. Tournament hours are 4 to 9 p.m. on March 7^th and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 8^th. Admission is $10 per day per person or $15 per person for a weekend pass.

The idea for the tournament began with conversations between West Morgan High School girls soccer coach Brandon Rice and Jack Allen Recreation Complex Manager David Wisdom. Eight high school girls soccer teams participated in the first tournament held in 2013. Sparkman High School defeated Fort Payne High 3 to 0 in the championship game.
