The Madera Coyotes softball and cross country teams will be hosting rundraising events over the next couple of weeks.

The Coyotes softball team is hosting a cornhole tournament Satruday afternoon.

The cornhole tournament begins at 12:30 p.m. Teams conists of one adult and one child (high school age or younger) and the cost per team is $30.

Teams will get lunch, sponsored by Round Table Pizza and McDonald’s. The tournament will be played in the Zimmerman Field outfield.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of commitment, the Alumni softball game between former Madera and Madera South players was cancelled.

To register for the cornhole tournament, contact Tyler Takeda at 217-0311 or tylert@maderatribune.net or come out to the tournament.

The snack bar will be open during both events and the softball team will also be hosting a silent auction throughout the day.

Cross country alumni needed

The Madera Coyotes cross country team will host the Madera Classic Invitational on Nov. 8 at Town and Country Park.

Middle school races begin at 3 p.m. and high school races will begin immediately after, at approximately 3:40 p.m.

However, the highlight of the day will be an alumni race.

Head coach Russ Stanford invites all Madera Coyote alumni who have helped put Madera cross country on the map. Stanford anticipates the alumni race will begin at 5 p.m.

The cost for alumni runners are $6 each. Contact Stanford at russstanford@maderausd.org or show up to the race to register.
