McGee, who has known Savion since his freshman year, is amazed at how fast they came up with ways to raise money. "From fish plates to wristbands, we've done everything you could think of," McGee said. "I'm amazed at how people like Chase Vaden, who didn't play with Savion that _ long, wanted to help." Vaden, who graduated in 2014 and only,played one year with Savion, came up with the idea for the Pray for Sae 7-on-7 tournament. The tournament will be May 30 at Reagan and will put some of the best talent in the area on showcase. Admission will be $5; children under 10 get in free. All the proceeds and donations will go to Savion and his family. Last year, Vaden helped organize a tournament that provided over 1,000 meals to the homeless of Winston-Salem. "We wanted to do something a little different this year," Vaden said. "I approached Savion with the idea, he agreed, and we started working on getting it done." The tournament will feature separate brackets for high school and college play ers. Registration for the tournament ended May 8. East Forsyth, Carver, Reagan, Mt. Tabor and Parkland High Schools will be represented. The finals of the tournament will be streamed nationwide on CoachesAid.com. The tournament will be two-hand tag and will follow the double elimination for mat. Teams are allowed 10 players per team. Match ups for the tournament have not yet been decided. Denard Smoot, who is responsible for getting the teams to participate, believes no matter who wins, the match-ups will be a must-see. "It will be very exciting," Smoot said. "We have a lot of talent coming." Savion, whose favorite player is Ray Lewis, is eager to get back on the field. Most of ail, he misses the intensity. 'That's what I like most about foot ball," Savion said. "I can't wait to get back on the field. There's no doubt that I'll be back out there."
