PrimeTime Sports expects over 130 teams to compete in the 2019 Tournament of Cham- pions. Completing its 14th year of exis- tence, the PrimeTime Sports 7-on-7 Tournament of Champions plans to put more emphasis on the high school divisions, especially within the private school sector. “The sport of 7-on-7 football is largely high school connected,” said PrimeTime Sports CEO David Stephens. “In the past, the 7-on-7 space has been dominated by the public school ranks but we wanted to host a statewide private school event that they have not in the past.” Founded in 2000, PrimeTime Sports provides events and pro- grams in three different sports: bas- ketball, soccer and 7-on-7 football.
