The AFC Lightning Fall Challenge

Last year the Fall tournament was revived after a break of a few years. From its inception, Lightning's Fall Challenge set the standard that many tournaments in Georgia and the Southest follow to this day. In its latest incarnation, we intend to offer teams a fine pre-season experiance.
