4th Annual Stephens
A TEENERS
Memorial Tournament

News Roster Schedule Statistics Archive Post 8 ONline
The 4th Annual Kris Stephens Memorial Tournament will begin Friday, July 15, and run through Sunday, July 17, at Hyde Stadium.

The event will feature five teams -- Mitchell A Teeners, Rapid City Post 320 JV, Valley Springs A Teeners, and both host teams, the Pierre A Teeners and a Pierre Junior Varsity team.

The tournament is named in memory of the former KCCR Sports Director, who was at the station from 1991 until his death, losing his battle to cancer on August 5, 2001. Stephens loved sports, especially baseball, and provided play-by-play for games even before the press box was installed at Hyde Stadium in 1994.

Stephens' wife, Nancy, and his daughter, Sara, were presented with a plaque commemorating the event in 2001.

Please note the revised schedule, including an earlier start time on Sunday.
