The Saxony Lutheran Volleyball Program hosted the 1st Annual Midnight Madness Volleyball Tournament on Friday, July 18th at Saxony Lutheran High School. Eight local coed teams entered and participated in the festivities, including: live music, free food provided by Jimmy Johns and Pizza Pro and each participant received a free t-shirt. The tournament began at 7:00 PM and championship game began at 2:30 AM early Saturday morning. The energy, excitement and competitiveness carried through to the wee hours of the morning adding to the fun.

The idea for the tournament came from Saxony Lutheran's new head volleyball coach Julie Brandmeyer in the search for a unique fundraiser. The event will be held annually and the proceeds benefit the Saxony Volleyball Program.

Local businesses sponsored the event including: Altenburg Machine and Fabrication, Sanctuary Outdoor products, United Land Title, First State Community Bank, SEMO Specialties, East Perry Lumber Company, Farmers Insurance, Jimmy Johns, Pizza Pro, Rubbermaid, 97.5 MAX and Pursuit Volleyball Academy.
