D.W.’s Kountry Cookers were honored as the GBA 2011-2012 Team of the Year this weekend at the ComSouth Hambone Jam in Fort Valley, GA.  The team was honored with the Team of the Year banner and a check from Team of the Year sponsor Stump’s Smokers.

The Team of the Year race came right down to the wire.  With just 2 contests remaining,  D.W.’s was tied with Jack’s New South for first place.  At Fernandina Beach, D.W.’s took 2nd in both ribs & pork along with the reserve grand award to open up a 17 point lead.  At the final contest of the year in Plains, Jack’s New South rallied with a first in ribs, second in loin and the grand championship for a total of 30 points.  D.W.’s first place in loin and 4th place in pork was good for 22 points and secured the title.
