Conclusion

 

Congratulations to Garrard County coach Scott Latham and his staff for putting together an excellent, well run event with some good basketball over the last three days.  Also, congratulations to Madison Central who was a team floundering two weeks ago with a 1-5 record and a big loss at Lincoln County.  Madison Central has rebounded to win eight in a row and the championship against Lincoln County.  Also, a special thanks to all the Stats Crews that was so generous in providing me with the information necessary to provide this tournament coverage.
