Thanks to all that have submitted tournament results. I can't be everywhere and you coaches, parents, players have done an outstanding job of keeping everyone informed. If you have results go to my profile and email me.

ALL STAR GAME
The Coaches all star games conclude today at St. Thomas.
The 3rd place game is at 1pm with 1A vs 4A.
The championship game is at 3pm with 2A vs 3A. Whoever wins, it will be their first time as Class champ.
Class A won in 2005, AAAA won in 06, and 07.
It was Metro vs Outstate from 1984-1999. In 2000 the classes were divided, but only AAAA played AAA in two games, and AA played A. In 2003 and 2004 the teams were jumbled together and were divided by colors---gold, green, maroon, blue. The current format started in 2005.
The most points scored in an all star game was AA in 2002 when the reached 118 vs class A (65).

Next up: Later today after the all star game.
