Its not to late for those nominations. I will continue to add them through the league tournaments, and beyond if we get enough interest.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Invenergy Supports Marseilles Youth Sports
Representatives of Invenergy, Director of Business Development Michael Arndt and Andrew Downey presented a check for $4000.00 to Marseilles Youth Sports Tuesday, June 25th. The money will be used to purchase a new score board for the east field. The present scoreboard is in need of repair and it was determined that the cost of repair is comparable to the cost of a new one.
Invenergy is currently in the process of building wind driven generators south of Marseilles that will produce electricity to power homes and businesses throughout the area. Michael Arndt states that phase one is nearing completion and phase two is scheduled to start in August of this year. Once both phases are complete Invenergy will construct and maintain a total of 160 of these generators.
