Dayton Moore became the sixth general manager
in Royals history on June 8, 2006. Under Moore’s
leadership, the Royals built one of the best farm
systems in baseball en route to winning the 2015
World Series in the club’s second consecutive
trip to the Fall Classic, and first World Series
championship since 1985. That was following the
club reaching the postseason for the first time in
29 years as they won the 2014 American League
championship by setting a Major League record
with eight-straight wins in the playoffs.
After the 2014 season, the Royals were selected
as the Baseball America “Organization of the Year”
for just the second time since the publication started
the award in 1982, and Moore was awarded the
“Executive of the Year” by Major League Baseball
(GIBBY Awards) as well as the Kansas City Sports
Commission.

All Tournament Cheerleaders
Because cheerleaders add much to our
tournament, we recognize outstanding members
of the various cheer squads as an All Tournament
Team of Cheerleaders in the same manner as the All
Tournament Team of Players is selected.
The names of the cheerleaders from each school
are included in the program and each is assigned a
number so the judges can identify them when they are
introduced at the beginning of each game, just prior to
the introduction of their players.
This honored group of cheerleaders is chosen
on the basis of enthusiasm, poise and performance by
a special committee, which will be in attendance at all
sessions. Results of the judging are not disclosed until
Saturday night when the winners are given special
recognition at the conclusion of the tournament.

Dodge City High School
DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS

Tamie Preston – District Activities Director and TOC Tournament Director
Tamie Preston has served as the Tournament of
Champions Tournament Director for the past
sixteen years. Tamie is retiring at the end of the
school year after thirty-one years as a teacher,
coach, and administrator at USD 443.
Tamie graduated from DCHS in the Class of 1980.
She went on to play tennis collegiately at Kansas
State University, where she completed her degree
in education in the spring of 1984.
After graduating from K-State, Tamie returned to
Dodge City to teach and coach. She was named the DCHS Head Tennis Coach in
1988. Tamie began her career as an elementary PE Teacher, and also served as an
elementary principal at Linn Elementary before accepting the position of Athletic
Director at Dodge City High School in 1999 - replacing long-time AD – J.C.
Riekenberg.
Tamie’s father - Bill Peugh (a longtime teacher and coach at DCHS) is credited
with teaching Tamie (and her sisters) how to play the game of tennis, and was
masterful at developing an aggressive winning attitude that continued to exhibit
itself in his daughter’s competitiveness – and life. Both Bill and Tamie’s mother
Pat (a DCHS Business teacher) were instrumental in developing the character
displayed by Tamie over her impactful career with USD 443.
Tamie’s impact on the TOC has been both impressive and meaningful. As she
works behind the scenes, she has elevated the tournament’s already prestigious
reputation for making the tournament about much more than just basketball. She
has worked tirelessly to give the TOC the professional, organized, and well
scripted feel that the community of Dodge City enjoys today.
Finally, TOC girls (past and present) would like to thank Tamie for her leadership
with the young ladies that comprise the TOC Committee – your legacy will
continue for many tournaments to follow.
