The final team sponsors – for the Tupelo Thunder and the Tallahatchie Rascals – have been named. McAlister’s Deli, a 2^nd-year sponsor, will join the Rascals in 2010 while Carrier and their local provider Riddle Heating & Air will come on board with the Thunder.  McAlister’s moved its sponsorship from the Thunder to the Rascals for the upcoming season when that slot became available. Blue Mountain College had moved similarly from the Rascals to the expansion Tippah County Tribe as preparations began for the 2010 season.

 

“We are happy to have our sponsors move to their ‘natural’ teams,” said BNA Bank CSBL North Division president Clark Richey. “Just like Blue Mountain College fit best with the new Tippah County Tribe, Mark Garrett’s McAlister’s group fits with the local New Albany team, the Rascals.” McAlister’s Famous Sweet Ice Tea is served at all BNA Bank Cotton States games.

 

Carrier, the world leader in heating and refrigeration, and their local provider of sales and service Riddle Heating & Air will make their contribution as co-sponsors of the Tupelo Thunder in 2010. “It’s great to have a nationally recognized company like Carrier join our league as well as Riddle Heating and Air, who we know from first-hand experience to be the kind of company that is simply a great North Mississippi partner to have.”

 

All team sponsors will have particular “Game Days” during the season where more information about each business and what they offer will be available to patrons of the BNA Bank Cotton States League.
