Memorial flag football tourney set: The second annual Friends of Joe Watkins Memorial Flag Football Tournament is Saturday at James Brown Park in Hinesville.
Funds from the tournament support scholarships presented to local high-school graduates who played baseball or softball and are headed to college.
Last year, Antonio Smith and Morgan Crowley earned the $1,000 scholarships.
Proceeds from this year’s tournament will also be donated to the Beasley Family Fund.
The Ellabell family lost two children in a house fire in early November.
The Joe Watkins Memorial Scholarship Fund is in memory of a Liberty County High School graduate who died in a car accident last year.
He was attending Georgia Southern University on a baseball scholarship and had played ball on travel teams across the state for years.
Teams of six players can register by calling Levi Deese at 912-480-7528. For more information, call Pat Watkins at 912-321-9803.
