D-1 Nation At Major Events April 16-18th

The D-1 Nation is out of the gate with a fury having won the Great American Shootout in Huntsville, The Battle of the South in Jackson, MS and a Kansas City, MO event as well.  Tomorrow morning 5 of our groups will be headed across the country.

Two prominent groups of boys will be in Little Rock, AR for the Real Deal On The Rock.   Coach Ted Hutchins bring his loaded Mississippi D-1 Ambassadors to town while Coach Greg Holmes fresh off a battle of the South Championship brings the New Orleans D-1 Ambassadors to town with intent on putting the hurt on some folks.
