Conclusion

This report is for entertainment purposes only and the statistics used here should not be considered official.  I hurriedly gathered the statistics from the scoresheets after each game and apologize for any errors or misspellings of names.

Congratulations to the Central Kentucky Warriors, N. Kentucky Fastbreak , and Derek Smith 17s for capturing their respective age division championships.  There were several good teams and many excellent players performing here this weekend.  Players added to their reputations during this event and several players are just now starting to appear on the radar screen.  The state of Kentucky graduates many stars each season but there are many others on the horizon waiting to take their turn in the spotlight.
