Perkins to rejoin Tri County youth league; board discusses travel and tournament plans
Summary
Board members said Perkins is leaving the Guthrie affiliation and rejoining the Tri County league (including Kearny, Ripley, Glencoe, Morrison, Perry, Tonkawa, Lapwell, Blackwell). The board discussed north/south divisions and a single-location end-of-season tournament to limit travel.
Members of the Parks and Recreation board discussed league affiliation and travel for spring youth sports. Speaker 5 announced that Perkins is no longer affiliated with Guthrie and is returning to the Tri County league, which will include Kearny, Ripley, Glencoe, Morrison, Perry, Tonkawa, Lapwell and Blackwell.
"We are no longer affiliated with Guthrie at all. We are going back to Tri County," Speaker 5 said, adding that Tri County voted Perkins in and that the league plans may include north and south divisions to reduce travel for teams. Board members supported exploring a single-site end-of-season tournament and suggested Perry as a central host to reduce travel burdens on families.
The board did not take a formal motion in this segment; members asked staff to provide more details on schedules and travel before finalizing game locations and tournament logistics.
