Congrats Ashland.  

I would think winning the AIT is almost up there with winning the region and beyond.

Wasn't it Danville Christian they also defeated in the final game last year as well?

Definitely the most prestigious regular season tournament in that part of the state. I don't think the AIT attracts the same caliber of field that it did decades ago, but it's still a significant event the winner can hang its hat on.

Yes, this was a rematch of last year's final.
