The winning team, Terry Brown's Shooting Stars, was composed of athletes from Wayne County and included team captain Terry Brown, Kyle Troxell, David Phillips, and brothers Seth and Elijah Frost. The team finished the tournament undefeated, but only after surviving an overtime game in the semifinal round. The second place team, sponsored by Bodean's Tattoos, consisted of Captain Junior Molden, Barry Shelton, Scott Cook, and Hubert Coots. The third place winner was the Busdrivers. Team members are Captain Jake Wilson, David Vance, Matt Anderson, and Pat Denney. The winning teams received cash prizes and t-shirts. "I think it's important not just from the standpoint of fundraising, but also from the perspective of contributing to the campus atmosphere," stated Steve Hammons, a member of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program faculty and co-sponsor of the student organization. "Athletic events can add so much to the college experience." "We really had a good turnout and I feel that this is an event that will really grow in the future," stated Ron Meade, PTA Program Director. "We anticipate that this will become one of the bigger events sponsored by our student organization as we continue to develop it." The SCC PTSO will be sponsoring additional fundraisers as they compete in the Pittsburgh-Marquette Challenge, a national competition pitting physical therapist and physical therapist assistant programs against each other in an attempt to raise the most money for the cause.
