points), Murray Co. A swept the field to take 1st. Rhea Co. (TN) A
took second, with Murray Co. B finishing 3rd.
Individual leaders were as follows, with the top 5 earning All-Star
honors:

Thanks go to Lee U. alum Jason Russell, UTC alum Wally Edmondson, and
UTC team members Shannon Moore, John Kilby, and Jonathan Wilson for
their help in setup, moderating, scorekeeping, and providing a
practice match for the bye teams. Special thanks as always go to UTC
stats goddess Dorothy Morisch, who can do this in her sleep by now
Also, special thanks go to NAQT for providing well-received questions
at a discount as part of their National High School Day promotion,
even though we held this 2 1/2 weeks after the target date.
