“Summer Slam 2022” was hosted by HR Ministries on the Butler Campus Saturday with a full day of activities.
The human foosball tournament provided a unique way to get involved. It is based on the board game but is actually played as players climb into an inflatable. Each of the 6 teams signed up for the tournament consisted of 5 players who played for 10 minutes before rotating with another team. After a break, they returned to continue the tournament to determine a winner.
Two of the players from the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Kuttawa have played in this tournament before and were looking forward to trying to repeat their championship. Gavin Baker & Mary Beth Davis
