Winners Bracket

Manual vs. Taylor County Manual 77 - Taylor Co. 59
Taylor Co. played a good game, but just didn't have enough for Manual. They were definitely much quicker than Manual, which showed in Manual's fouling. Can't wait to see this team with Jacob Jenkins. Manual jumped out to an early lead, but Taylor Co. fought back and it was a close game for most of the remanider until Manual pulled away at the end. Box Score


Jeffersontown vs. Lexington Catholic J-town 74 - Lex. Cath 62
A great game as was advertised. A very rough game with 49 fouls and 50 turnovers, and what I felt was incredibly subpar officiating, it was just awful. Thomas Jackson came up big for J'Town with 35 points and Vee Sanford had 26, he was basically unstoppable when he wanted to be. Sanford fouled out 2/3 through the 4th quarter. Good game, but I unfortunately feel like the officials decided the game rather than the players. Much closer than the score reflects. Box Score


Franklin (WA) vs. Pleasure Ridge Park Franklin 68 - PRP 57
I was very surprised at how tough PRP played this team who I thought would destroy them. This turned out to be a lot closer than the score shows. Peyton Siva was rather unimpressive for his hype, granted he did go down with an ankle injury in the middle of the 2nd quarter. He did return, however he was no where close to 100%. Box Score


Cherokee (GA) vs. Coral Reef (FL) Coral Reef 63 - Cherokee 45
A really nice game for the most part. Shawn Kemp Jr. was a force and whenever he touched the ball on the block it was almost a guarantee. Coral Reef again won this game was very intense defense and good guard play. Their senior guard Steven Lopez is as smart a player as I've seen and he can fill it up. I really like this team. Box Score


Losers Bracket

I stayed in the West Gym all day so I didn't get a chance to see any of these games. The winners are in BOLD

Fairdale vs. Bardstown Bardstown 56 - Fairdale 54

Anderson County vs. Bullitt East Bullitt East 43 - Anderson Co. 41- END 3RD (Still playing when I left)

Dorsey (CA) vs. Centennial (TN) Dorsey 102 - Centennial 95 OT

-Quick note on the Dorsey-Centennial game...Dorsey won in OT 103-95. But by far the story of the night was Centennial big man Drew Kelly (6' 7") who scored a All-Time tournament record of 67 POINTS. The previous record was 54 points held by Ryan Cochran. Kelly is commited to Miami (OH).
