In the first-ever Ohio Valley Qualifier, teams from around the general lower Midwest flocked to the Cincinnati area to compete for a bid to the WWBA World Championship, to be held in Fort Myers in mid-October. We’ll be doing two scouting breakdowns of the event, this one covering the action from Friday-Saturday, and a second one covering Sunday-Monday.

Class of 2029 Tourney All-American Team
We'll open up by saying this; putting together these two teams wasn't an easy task and we could've easily filled another 2 teams without breaking a sweat. There's a mix of Festivalers from last year's 13u game, top 100 ranked players and others who put together spectacular 2024 campaigns and are more than deserving of this recognition.
