Conclusion
Congratulations to the N. Kentucky Lady Longhorns (9U), Lady Blaze (10U DI), N. Kentucky Lady Longhorns (10U DII), and Louisville Jaguars-Black (11U) for capturing their respective championships. There was some excellent talent on display this week.
I have attempted to give a brief recap of this tournament and the statistics came from the game scoresheets. I apologize 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 tourney and not an instrument for ascertaining official statistics.
