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 Wayne County for their excellent championship run. Also congratulations to both Corey Stearns and Logan Gardner for a great tourney with Gardner receiving the Tourney MVP trophy. The talent level was extremely good at this event.
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 an event of this mmagnitude without their help.
Please feel free to send your comments and questions concerning the tournament, teams, or players to me at prephoops@yahoo.com.
