The Santa Fe South Saints are hosting their inaugural Labor Day Invitational starting on Thursday.

It is no secret that the Saints have struggled the last few years, but they are on pace to have more wins this fall than they had in either the Fall or Spring of the 2023-2024 season.

When looking at the field in the tournament, there are a few more teams that have gotten off to better than expected starts as well.

Winning this tournament could give those teams even more momentum heading into September.
