FOR THE GAMERS:
Another week without any new game releases.

All of these titles are available at Crossover Video and Games
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS
As part of our continued commitment to be a full time member of the community, we were pleased to provide a sponsorship to the “Crossover Video Jays” team in the Marathon Mixed Slopitch League. The team has an impressive record of 14 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie so far this season. The Crossover Video Jays also participated in the Mixed Tournament held this past weekend at Dyer’s Field in Marathon. Unfortunately, the great record from the season would not carry over into the tournament as the team failed to make the playoffs. In the end, it was the team from Manitouwadge that took home the title with a victory over 1 of the 3 Marathon team’s in the final game.
