Conclusion

 

Louisville Magic breezed through the 9th Grade division with a 6-0 record.  Coach Ellis Myles’ team consisted of Christian Cunningham (Scott County), Jordan Green and Trey Grundy (Henry Clay), Chris McCraw (Western), Craig Owens (Trinity), D’Angelo Russell (Central), and Quentin Snider (Ballard).  This star-studded team impressed all weekend and D’Angelo Russell and Trey Grundy were especially impressive.

 

Spiece Charlotte Court made it to the championship game behind the sterling play of Fleming County star Darion Burns.

 

The Ville 2013 captured the 10th Grade division championship with a 6-0 record.  The ville continues their championship ways by capturing their 10th state title.  Coach David Levitch’s team consisted of Dominique Hawkins (Madison Central), Darryl Hicks (Trinity), Quan Taylor (Madison Central), Tyler Wesley (Oldham County), Omar Prewitt (Montgomery County), Chris Gillespie (Bourbon County), David Levitch (North Oldham), and Malik Henry (Ballard).  Hicks, Hawkins, and Prewitt impressed this weekend.

 

BA Hoyas were runner-ups in this division and were led by Derek Willis (Bullitt East).  Rusty Toutman (Bullitt East) and Demetrius McReynolds (Butler).  Jarvis Irby (Christian County) played for Attucks Wolfpack and shot the ball well this weekend.

 

KYA All Stars went 6-0 in the 11th Grade division on their way to the championship.  Coach Ray Valentine’s team consisted of Jay Johnson (Woodford County), Jalen Wesson (Butler), Stephon Bryant (Doss), Tamron Manning (Scott County), Zach Zimlich (KCD), Blake Scinta (KCD), Nathan Dieudonne (Trinity), Percey Blade (Eastern), and Tyrell Corlew (Eastern).  Manning and Johnson had great weekends with several other players making serious contributions.

 

Makale McKay and William Bryant both of Moore had excellent games for Next Level.  Kentucky Select played “up” and had an excellent tourney run led by Zach McCormick (Wilmington, OH) and Brandon Hatton (Dixie Heights).  Trinity’s Charles Foster and Troy Saxton played well for BA Hoyas.  Jaylen Beckham (Bryan Station) put up some impressive numbers for Hoop Dreams.
