The Prairieland Punishers would like to thank their sponsors who made this bout possible as well as all the volunteers that helped. It was a great second home bout of the season. On a sadder note, this was the last bout for the long-time coach, Impale Ale. Though it is hard to say good-bye, the Punishers want to thank Impale Ale for the time and effort he has put into this league and we will miss him. Good luck, coach!
