ENGLERT AND BETZ NAMED ROTARY CLUB OF DUBOIS COUNTY CORNHOLE CHAMPIONS

Dubois Co.- The Rotary Club of Dubois County wrapped their summer-long Cornhole Tournament of Champions at the Holland Fest on Saturday, September 16th, where Cody Englert and Scott Betz (Team: Sons of Pitches) were named the Champions of Champions.  

In total, the Rotary Club visited five locations at festivals throughout the county, seeing 74 teams compete. Tournament stop winners were as follows:

-St. Henry Heinrichsdorf Fest – Mick Hochgesang and Rick Hochgesang (Team: Hoagie Brothers)

-Ferdinand HeimatFest - Mick Hochgesang and Rick Hochgesang (Team: Hoagie Brothers)

-Holland Fest (Champions Round) – Cody Englert and Scott Betz (Team: Sons of Pitches)

Each winning duo was invited to participate in the Champions Tournament after regular play at the Holland Fest. Team Hoagie Brothers was unable to attend and forfeited their place in the Champions Round to the 2nd place team from each stop they won. Team Sons of Pitches was the 2nd place team from the Jasper Strassenfest Tournament, and took their luck all the way to the winner’s bracket, earning a cash prize and the honor of holding the titles of Cornhole Champions for the next year.

“We were very happy with the warm reception and turnout at each of our stops this year,” said Kenny Speed, Rotarian and Event Chair. “It’s our goal to do this again next summer and add even more stops to our schedule!”
