Black Stadium. The tournament, which benefits the Siloam Springs Football Booster Club, had 11 teams -- fourth, fifth and sixth grade -- participate, which included more than 150 players and 40 coaches. Approximately 600 spectators attended the event, and this year's proceeds far exceeded that of last year, according to tournament director Branson Hall. The Springdale Wildcats sixth-grade team from Bernice Jones Elementary ended up winning the tournament.
