4th Annual Morrie Abrams Memorial Snowsnake Tournament

The Morrie Abrams Memorial Snow snake tournament was held February 14th & 15th at the Hiller Road track in Jimersontown and it was a huge success. The tournament was coordinated by Christopher “Bundy” Jimerson and Steven Frank, Morrie’s teammates, the Onoville Team.
