We shared previously how the Northern Lights Qualifier back in January included the 17s, so they’ve had their taste at qualifying season but now it’s time for the other age groups to join the party. It was around this time last year where qualifying season came to a screeching halt with a national pandemic. A year later, excitement would be an understatement for the teams across the state of Missouri (and Kansas) looking forward to the three-day grind.

We didn’t get much of an opportunity to view whole matches but I look forward to some of those days 2 battles tomorrow as teams fight for a bid to Nationals. Here are some of the players in our limited court time that stood out on day 1.
