Conclusion

Congratulations to Lexington Catholic atheltic director Andy Listerman, coach Jeff Hans, and the tournament sponsors for putting together such a first class event.  Also, congratulations to coach Hans and the Lady Knights on capturing the championship.  They suffered graduation losses but still remain an excellent team capable of challenging for another state champtionship.  However, there are several other worthy contenders capable of claiming the championship.  The players of the All Tournament Team were very deserving, but there were several other players who easily could have made the team.

I appreciate the hospitality extended me by Jeff Hans and his staff.  I also enjoyed seeing the talent on display this week and am confident that many of them will play well at the college level.  The stats presented in this write-up were from scorebooks and from several computer stat crews.  Although this is not necessarily official stats, the numbers should be close.  A special thanks to Lexington Catholic stats crew Glenn Gentry and Gary Long, Bob Tonini of Sacred Heart Academy, and all the other stat crews who were kind enough to provide me with stats for the games.
