The tournament took place on Monday, Aug. 12, 2024, at the Cedar Lake Club in Clayville. Funds raised from the tournament go to students pursuing college or employment in their field of study following a vocational education in high school.

The winning team at the tournament was the HCCC Foundation with team members Don Dutcher, Nick Laino, Rick Salamone and Kevin Todd.

The school trophy went to Frankfort-Schuyler, and Superintendent Joe Palmer accepted the award on behalf of his team. The team was sponsored by King + King Architects.
