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

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.

EAST
Emily Adams
Elissa Hapner
Nikata Marrzano
Alex Otto
Adriane Wilson

WEST
Denise Greene
Megan McKee
Kadie McNamara
Kristine Rothwell
Chrystal Rubert

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.
Adversity cause some men to break; others to break records.
