Preview of Team Badges

Here is a sneak peek at the 2014 Bladerunner game day team passes. Kick Off day is September 20, so the BEST season is just around the corner. We are looking forward to a successful 2014 BEST season.

Field Construction is Underway!

Construction of the playing field for Blade Runner 2014 is underway at a number of undisclosed locations across northeast Alabama. Behind closed doors in secret locations, volunteers are working hard to ready the playing field for the September 20 kick off.

 

We are excited about this year's game and field, and know that it will provide a challenge and a learning experience for our local teams.
