PEORIA - Getting on a roll now.

Third live blog in just over a week.

This time we are coming from one of the Valley's top annual events in the Peoria Invitational.

There should be some good matchups in the 5 p.m. finals on Saturday.

Here are the rules in case you are new to the scene.

1. The freshest take is on the top. Scroll down to see older matches, stats, information, my opinion, etc.

2. Apologize ahead of time for mispellings of names and typos. I am trying to keep up with the action so my key strokes might be a little off at times.

3. Log-in to the web site, comment along, ask questions and I will try to reply when I can.

4. Never stop. Never stop fighting until the fight is done. (my favorite movie quote)

5. Enjoy.

XXXXXXXXX

I've encountered a problem. The power cord to my laptop snapped off at the connection point. I am running on battery power and I am not going to make it the entire night.

I will do best I can until it takes a dump. My apologies.
