El Paso, TX – Today is the third and final day of the three day annual tournament in Texas. This is the biggest tournament of the year in El Paso, TX as several media, scouts and a few college coaches were on hand to attend the 193 team tournament.

I spent all day watching the playoffs in the high school division and below are my Day 3 Eye-Catchers.
