I have attempted to give a brief recap of each game 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 official statistics or precise individual records. However, one record was set in this tourney as Nikki Bustle (Lincoln County) recorded nine three point baskets in a game against Lexington Christian Academy.
Congratulations to Assumption and Dunbar for winning their respective divisions. Dunbar rolled through the Varsity Division with a 7-0 record and an average victory margin of 29 points per game. Their only close game was the championship 51-44 victory over Henry Clay.
Several teams and players had excellent performances this week. It is difficult to evaluate summer basketball for a variety of reasons. Key players will be missing for varied reasons. Coaches will be evaluating their own players to replace graduated seniors. However, other teams will start the process of attempting to fine-tune teams expected to make a run for the coveted high school championship in March. Often teams will not display the same defensive intensity during the summer campaigns and it is often used to keep players in shape over the summer.
However, I enjoy summer basketball for a variety of reasons. Simply put, I enjoy the high school game and always enjoy attempting to identify players who will contribute or star at the varsity level. Summer ball is an important tool for coaches to develop players, install new concepts, and begin the long process of building their teams for regular season play.
A special thanks to the Kentucky Basketball Academy family for the hospitality extended me during this event. Also a special thanks to the coaches who patiently answered all my questions about their teams and players and give tirelessly of their time and energy to coach basketball.
Please feel free to send your comments and questions concerning the tournament, teams, or players to me at prephoops@yahoo.com.
