Kraig’s Dodgeball Tournament is an annual event of dodgeball and cornhole competitions to raise money for the Kraig Andre’ Diggs Scholarship Fund. The purpose of the tournament is not only to keep Kraig’s name alive among his family, friends, and the hundreds of people whose lives he touched over his 20 years, but it is also to fund a scholarship which will perpetuate his name for years to come.
The first tournament was held on September 29, 2018 at Barnstable High School, where 32 dodgeball teams and 32 corn hole teams competed and, along with sponsorships and individual donations, raised $35,000 for the Kraig Andre’ Diggs Scholarship Fund! The winning Dodgeball Team was Fresh Ketch and the winning Cornhole Team was Chris Picariello and Jack Warren.
The 2nd Annual Kraig’s Dodgeball Tournament was held on September 28, 2019 at Barnstable High School. The winning Dodgeball Team was Team Rhoody and the winning Cornhole Team was Chris Picariello and Jack Warren (last year’s champions!).
