This year, in 2025, we have 82 teams in the Battle at the Beach tournament. It is such a great venue for local teams and visiting teams play at. I have always expressed my thoughts to everyone asking that I truly believe that the relationship we have developed with the Biloxi Shuckers staff has been a big factor in the success of this tournament. I can’t say enough about Hunter Reed and his staff and how great the relationship has grown in such a positive way.”
