Final day of the MFCA Convention...Results-Photos and more!

[Silverhorse 228]

It is 10pm and I have just pulled into my driveway...what a great weekend! Before I begin to post, I want to send out some special thanks to some people who were a huge help all weekend...

John Martin-He picked guys up, he was our tour guide, he provided free beer all weekend, he got everyone to the Sunday cookout, he had guys over to his house and he welcomed everyone to Canton. He was a big part of the success of the weekend...thank you John

Will Travers-Will did alot of the little necessary things to make the weekend run smooth...plus I got to know Will better, which for me just added to the weekend and made it all that much more special...Thanks Will

Ray Fanera-This guy did an outstanding job on the Hall of Fame program...so well that I hope he continues to do it year after year. It took a great deal of preparation to make this happen...it was a lot of work and he deserves a great deal of thanks...thank you Ray.

Ed Roche-Ed was a big help with his wallet as he lifted my spirits by buying 7-8 Convention Coffee Mugs that allowed us to post a "sold out" sign. Thanks for supporting the MFCA Ed!

And Finally Lynn Schmidt-Let's face it...if it wasn't for Lynn's drive over the last few months this convention might not have ever occurred...instead it turned out to be one of the best conventions (if not thee best) that I have ever been a part of...do me a favor...give this man a nod and give him some appreciation for all that he did....thanks Wolf...HOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLL!

Now to some awards! My notes are still packed, but I will try to remember who won what....

The 2008 MFCA Convention Tourney champion was....Adrian Baxter with 393 points for the weekend (see photos). 2nd place went to Jimbo Dunagan with 312 and third place went to Joe Greco with 308 points (see photos).Your region winner for the tournament was the Great Lakes Region and the top three were Jimbo Dunagan, Damon Lucas and Steve Martin (see photos)

As for the skills competition I know Will Shropshire won two categories...I think weighted fastest man and strength but I am not sure. Harvey Bennett was a winner as well. Joe Greco won the kicking skills competition, Adrian Baxter won one or two?...unfortunately I am not sure about the rest of skills...Lynn will update everyone.

As for photos we had some good ones. In the mix is Adrian Baxter and the Heisman pose after winning the tournament. Mike Turner took a turn with the chamionship helmet. We had a great Michigan versus Michigan State game to finish off the convention that was a marathon. It was Steve Martin and Joe Allore going at it and I am sure they will post highlights at some point. We also had a visit from the President of PFUFA "Pantherman".

I hope everyone enjoys the photos...there will be more to come...it was truely a weekend of Unity, Fellowship and Intregity and I must say everyone in the MFCA is a great group of guys. I hope everyone gets some rest at some point...we pulled "all nighters" on both nights. We didn't finish until 4am on Friday night and it was 4:30am on Saturday...No one wanted it to end

Enjoy the photos and good night!
