Kammerer 47  Adair County 37 (Championship) – Kammerer trailed 32-30 after three quarters but rallied in the final quarter to outscore Adair County 17-5 in the final quarter to earn a 47-37 victory and the championship.  Kammerer was widely regarded as the favorite to capture this event but Adair County came out determined and actually had Kammerer on the ropes with the lead and Kammerer’s 6-2 Malik Dow saddled with four personal fouls.  However Kammerer battled back and finally took control late in the game.  Malik Dow and Brandon Wells led the victors with 13 and 11 points respectively.  Kel Stotts led Adair County with 21 points.  Chance Melton added 11 points.

This was an excellent well run event with a lot of individual talent and some excellent teams.  I will address some of these teams and players in a later write-up but the future of hoops in Kentucky appears bright.

Note; Adair County entered this game with a 30-0 record while Kammerer was 32-2 with their only losses coming against 8^th grade teams.
