Conclusion

Congratulations to Lady Legends 14U, Kentucky Blast 15U, and Lady Legends 16U for capturing their respective division championships in a star-studded field of teams.  I have attempted to give a brief recap of this tournament and the statistics came from the game scoresheets.  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 individual records.
