you have to get picked to be on the team......A)be a top tier amtr athlete B) be a good representative of the sport C) show that your willing to travel to games where they(the SSAA staff) can see your talent,and character.....ususally they will pick a Capt and that Capt goes about getting members to fill out his team

not 100% adhered to but in the past it involved the states that were involved in the civil war(hence North vs Sout)..so to be on North Team you were supposed to be from the North(or as its founder Kay said "A Yankee") and south team comprised of athletes from Confederate states..that rule isnt 100% adhered to any more but it is a kick ass comp with up and coming athhletes who are talented enough to make the jump to pro status...if you ever get a chance got their website-Kevin Dupuis has a history page with team memebers and who won..its a virtual whos who of stud(and for a little bit Studette(female) )athletes

We're a week away. Any bolder predictions? Any more smack talk? Anyone going to be around for updates?

Well I'm definitely rooting team SOUTH and obviously biased towards my brother. I hope and bet he wins a BIG sheaf, and excited to see him WOB is out with Dunbar. I can see a lot of guys over 100+ in the heavy hammer as well with a competitive group driving those numbers up - if practices have gone well for everyone in that department at this time of the year.

Results: SOUTH Wins! I heard/saw it was by 5 points, one of the if not the closest margin of victory in N/S games history. Garrett Blatnik takes overall w/ field record 38'6" sheaf, Colin Dunbar 2nd w/ heavy hammer field record of 112'. Other things I can try and think of to report from Instagram and texts (don't quote me on distances): Stone - Dunbar win (or McKelvey) over 52/3? HWFD - Blatnik at 40' LWFD - Summers at 82' HHAM - Dunbar 112' Caber - Blatnik w/ only turn Sheaf - Blatnik WOB - Blatnik 2nd at 17' (not sure of first, assuming Dunbar?) Great games to hear about and hope that my "Blatnik" name is there next year

The Central Florida Highland Games are also home to the women's East/West Team Challenge. I was fortunate to be named the East Coast team captain and Chrystal Rubert lead the West Coast.
It was a close competition all day but the East was victorious 209.5 to 177.5 over the West. Top individuals: Nikita Marzano 57 Elissa Hapner 53 Adriane Wilson 52 (won the tie breaker with two event wins) Meagan McKee 52 Denise Greene 50 Many thanks go out to Chip Crawford, Susan, and KC Cummings for bringing out this great group of competitors. Elissa got the field record in the 12lb. sheaf at 29' and Nikita threw 81' in the LWFD for a new record as well.
