Hi,

What are everyone's thoughts on the Beast of the East tournament in West Viginia?

Is it well-scouted? Well run? Good competition? Nice fields?

I'm considering taking my team there and I'm looking for opinions on the tournament.

My son's team went there last summer.

I was very dissappointed. The teams/competition that were there was OK. But the games were not well scouted at all. The games are all over and spread too far away from each other. Fields and playing surfaces are poor.

You are much better off going to one of the PG events down in Marrietta GA.

I wish we would've went there.

The Black Swamp was a good tournament. Midland runs some nice tournaments as well.

I have not really heard any negative comments on Beasts of the East but we have not attended there either.

Sandles,

We attended the BOE two years ago and while the tournament seemed to be well run, we found the competition to be pretty much middle of the road. Unless things have changed we saw very few colleges in attendance(even in the championship round).


One thing I will say is that the people running the program were great and the locals really seemed to support the tournament. There was even coverage in the local paper every day.

If you looking for a fun tournament to attend the BOE isn't bad however if you are looking for a heavily attended showcase tournament (college recruiters) you might look elsewhere.
