Conclusion

I have attempted to give a brief recap of all the games played in this tournament.  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 precise individual records. 

Congratulations to the Kentucky Thorobreds, Northern Kentucky Jazz, and Central Kentucky Warriors for winning their respective championships.  The 17 and Under division champions were coached by the veteran Charles Givens who has had excellent teams for years in All-Star competition, including the old Salvation Army teams.  There were some excellent games played this weekend and some outstanding individual performances were recorded.
