It's Easy

The Carroll County Recreation Department will host a benefit for Jessica Lee, a cancer-stricken little girl, near the end of July, with proceeds to help her family cover medical expenses.

The tournament is open to all ages, and tournament organizers are hoping to pull together at least two teams for the ages 6 and under bracket, two teams in the ages 7 to 12 bracket and as many teams as possible in the ages 13 and up bracket.
