Junior Division
Team Kentucky rallied from a double digit deficit entering their last rotation to upset Team Ohio by a score of 106-105 in one of the best games seen at this event over the years. It came down to who had the ball last as player after player on both squads came up big down the stretch. Team Ohio entered the game 10-0 and looked unbeatable all week but Team Kentucky (7-3) stayed within striking distance and claimed the championship with a surge down the stretch. 6-2 8th Grader Gerrard McCoy (U of D Jesuit Academy MI) was named Tournament Co-MVP from the victorious Team Kentucky squad. He got ample support from 5-9 8th Grade Vincent Dawson (Georgetown Middle KY). Several other players stepped up for the victors to earn this championship. 5-10 Fr. Eli Gover (Pulaski County KY) earned the Tournament Co-MVP Award from Team Ohio. 5-11 Fr.
