I have attempted to give a brief recap of each game played this weekend. The stats in this report came from the game scoresheets. I apologize in advance for any errors or misspelling of names. This report is not meant to be used for official records but for general coverage of this event.
Congratulations to Kammerer for their championship run and to all the fine teams and players who participated this weekend. Also congratulations to Tourney MVP Brandon Wells (Kammerer), a crafty point guard who directed the offense like a seasoned veteran. 6-2 Malik Dow (Kammerer) displayed excellent moves and a deft shooting touch around the basket. Kel Stotts and Chance Melton both played well for Adair County. Trey Farmer (Elkhorn) averaged 18 ppg for the tourney. Drew Davis (Mercer County) averaged 22 ppg and Braxton Beverly (RW Combs) averaged 28.5 ppg.
A special thanks to Ken Farley and the rest of the Kentucky Basketball Academy staff for the hospitality extended me this weekend. It would be impossible for me to cover these events without the outstanding cooperation and help I get from the staff.
