Conclusion

I have attempted to give a brief recap of each game played in this tourney.  I apologize in advance for any misspelled names or errors in the stats as I hurriedly transcribed the statistics from the scoresheet. This report is meant to be an overview of the tourney and not an instrument for ascertaining precise individual records.

Congratulations to the Whitley County Red Storm, Central Kentucky Kings, and the Central Kentucky Warriors capturing their respective division championships.
