Conclusion

Congratulations to *Team Focus and the Central Kentucky Warriors for capturing their respective division championships.  I have attempted to give a brief recap of this tournament and the statistics came from the game scoresheets.  I apologize in for any misspelled names or errors in stats as I hurriedly transcribed the statistics from the scoresheets.  This report is meant to be an overview of the tourney and not an instrument for ascertaining individual records.

Acknowledgments

A special thanks to the Kentucky Basketball Academy staff for putting on another quality event for these young athletes.  A special note of appreciation to the coaches and parents who put in so much time and effort so that these players can showcase their talents.
