In addition to the May 10 tournament, there will be a fish fry and scholarship award ceremony at 6 p.m. A silent auction featuring an American Airlines round-trip ticket to anywhere in the country, donated by Henry Adley ATH Corp. of Dallas, dinner for two at Brothers Seafood Restaurant in Shreveport, and many other gifts are up for bids.
