Conclusion

Unfortunately, I was able to attend only the Saturday session of the tournament.  I have attempted to give a brief recap of Saturday’s games and the scores that were available for the rest of the tourney.  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 all the teams claiming championships this week.  There were some excellent teams and some very talented individuals displaying their skills this week.  The N. Lexington YMCA Blaze team was actually a 9U team playing “up”.
