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 players’ stats as I hurredly transcribed stats from the scorebooks. This report is meant to be an overview of the tourney and not an instrument for ascertaining precise individual records.
Congratulations to Franklin-Simpson for winning the championship and to both Mason County and Franklin-Simpson for providing us with an excellent championship game. Franklin-Simpson utilized an excellent team concept and a strong inside presence to post victories over Elkhorn, Crawford, Winburn, Whitley County, A. J. Lloyd, and Mason County in this tournament.
There were many fine teams and too many excellent players to mention them all here. There was much thought put in to selecting the All Tournament.Team, but with only fifteen slots available some fine players were left off the team.
This was a well-balanced tourney field with several teams having a legitimate shot at the title. The pipeline continues for high schools in the state with many of these players destined to make their mark on varsity level in the future. It is obvioius from covering this event that the future of basketball in Kentucky is extremely bright and the Kentucky Basketball Academy will strive to improve this event each year.
