Conclusion
I have attempted to give a brief recap of each game 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 and not an instrument for ascertaining precise individual records.
Congratulations to the Louisville Jaguars and Louisville Sting for capturing their respective championships. There were some very good teams and some very talented individuals on display this weekend. 6-1 Whitney (Belle) Jackson of the Clay County Heat is a force in the paint and controls the boards. Several of the ladies in this tournament appear to be poised for future stardom and some have already logged varsity time at an early age.
