The first Rip Powell Invitational Golf Tournament netted more than $11,000. Approximately 60 golfers participated in the tournament held on March 17th at the Magnolia Country Club. The funds raised from the event will benefit the Rip Powell Society, which is an effort to name the current Mulerider Football Field in honor of Coach Powell. Over 90 players and guests at the luncheon enjoyed a video presentation portraying highlights of Coach Powell’s career.
