Conclusion

 

This was an excellent, well-organized tournament with several excellent teams and a lot of individual talent.  The stats mentioned here were hurriedly copied from the official score sheets.  I apologize for any misspellings and/or inaccuracies in transcribing from the score sheets.  The unsung heroes of these events are the coaches and parents who spend a lot of time, effort, and money to allow these future stars to showcase their talents.
