Boys 15U Division
Trey Hill scored at the buzzer to give the KY Gators a 62-60 victory over the Louisville Magic. The Gators were actually a 14U team playing up which made this championship even more remarkable. The Gators were led by 6-8 Bayley Rice, 6-4 Trey Hill, and 6-0 Ahmal Price among others. This is definitely a team to watch over the next few years. This was a very deep and talented division.
Boys 16U Division
The talented KY Heat team captured back-to-back titles over another talented field.
Boys 17U Division
The Ville has won several titles over the years and captured another over one of the deepest and most talented field I remember competing for the title. The Ville was led by Jax Levitch (Trinity), Evan Hall (Knott County Central), Will Parker (Male), and Keifer Dalton (Clinton County),etc. Hoops Dream-Orange was well represented by Hagen Tyler (Boyle County), Timmy Taylor (Lincoln County), Jacob Conway (Lincoln County), and Tanner Johnson (Lexington Catholic). Justin Miller (Owensboro), Jeremiah Tisdale (Henry Clay), Isaiah Johnson (Madison Central), Trent Thompson (Harrison County), and DJ Jenkins (Harrison County) performed well for Hoop Dreams-Black.
