Conclusions
Dave Cantrall’s All ‘A’ rankings which appeared in the Lexington
Herald-Leader on February 6th had Rose Hill and St. Henry ranked
No. 1 and No. 2. They ended up in
the championship game with St. Henry taking home the big trophy. St. Henry personified the team concept
with four players being named to the all-tourney team. Rose Hill 8th grader O.J.
Mayo had an excellent tournament and Frankfort Fr. Aaron Dunaway
established himself as a young player to watch.
