This is the 7th year the tournament has been run, and the first time a girls division has been possible. Overall, 17 teams competed in the open division and 5 in the girls. The JV squad also did quite well, going 3-3 with two wins over varsity teams and finishing 10th after initially being seeded 15th.
This is the boys second state title. They last won in 2007.
