History
of the
North/South Challenge
________________________________________
In November 2006, the Louisiana Highland Games
hosted the 10th annual North/South Challenge. The North/South game has
become a great tradition, and a launching pad for many athletes to
enter the professional ranks.
I was honored to be selected as captain in 2004. I
was even more honored to be part of a winning team and get my
name placed upon the cup. Some great friendships have been made by
being a part of these teams.
To look upon the names engraved on this award, is
to
see a roster of some of the most well achieved amateur athletes the
Highland Games has seen in the past 10 years.
Since the North/South challenge cup is usually
only seen at the game where the event is being held, and rarely travels
far from the save confines of the home of the winning team's captain,
many people have not had the opportunity to see the names of the past
champions.
I have decided to dedicate this page to pay
tribute to those who have competed in this great competition throughout
they years, to give thanks to the individual games that have hosted the
challenge, and to thank Kay and Susan for starting and continuing this
tradition.
Thanks,
Kevin Dupuis
