Conclusion

Congratulations to Mason County Reign, Hoop Dreams, and Lexington Blaze 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 advance 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 tournament for entertainment purposes, and not an instrument for ascertaining individual records.
