Congrats to team Top The Tater for their win of the 2025 Boot Bash!! Technicallly back to back but they blended teams so it’s unofficial in the record books. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the squads next year!!

Big Time shout out to the tourneys MVP, Blake Aakhus. What a personal performance!

What beautiful weather and fun time had by everyone who came out to support it! We look forward to seeing you all at the tourney in 2026!
