Conclusion
Southern Pulaski defended their state title but had to survive some serious challenges this year. They had to survive an excellent performance by Wayne County’s Stetson Simpson to defeat the Cardinals in an Elite Eight game. They also had another tough opponent in the semifinal game in Knox County. Trae Harmon led Meece to the championship game with victories over two very good teams in Elkhorn and Whitley County. Southern Pulaski’s pressure defense allowed them to capture the championship with a 42-30 victory in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated. Southern Pulaski was led by Tournament MVP Steven Fitzgerald who averaged 15 PPG.
