The 2011 Bev White Memorial Mushball Champions are the Dirty 530–not one of them was born when the Scott Valley tradition had its birth 30 years ago. However, that didn’t stop the Dirty 530 from running the table on their way to the crown.

The opponent for the championship game was the Incredibles, who battled their way through the loser’s bracket to reach the championship game.
