Conclusion

Congratulations to Lexington Catholic Coach Jeff Hans and the rest of the athletic staff for putting together such a first class event.   Also, congratulations to Coach Hans and the Lady Knights on capturing the tourney title over a formidable group of challengers.  Lexington Catholic, along with several other teams in this field are capable of competing for the state championship in March.  I enjoyed seeing the individual talent on display this week and am confident that many of them will perform 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.
