Conclusion
Congratulations to Coach Ron Dawn and Newport Central Catholic for capturing the championship this week. This team is very well-coached , cohesive, and plays a very aggressive defense which makes it extremely difficult for the opposition to run their offensive sets. PG Courtney Sandfoss directs the offense with several players capable of reaching double figures.
Acknowledgements
While the weather did not approach the ice storm of last year the Richmond area was blanketed with snow and the officials once again did a great job with the tournament. A special thanks to All “A” Classic Secretary and Media Coordinator Mike Reeves for the hospitality extended me during this event. Also a note of appreciation to David Parke, Coordinator of Arens Facilities and to High Davis and the Eastern Kentucky University Stats Crew and All “A” Committee. The All “A” Classic, in my opinion, is first class and is one of the most enjoyable events I have ever attended or worked.
