Will all the games be broadcast on the radio? It looks like a fairly well balanced tournament with no clear favorite and no real dud. The AIT is a far cry from what it was in its early years when it was known as the Greenbo Invitational Tournament and was played at the Ashland Armory. Back then it rivaled the state tournament as to having a strong field. Now everybody has a tournament of sorts and, with a couple of exceptions in Lexington and Louisville, it is all watered down.

 

The local schools could surprise so fans should get out and support the tournament.

^Thats what I was going to ask. I hear some of the older generation talk about the AIT and how big a deal it was. What caused the downfall and when was the last year it was great?

Too many holiday tournaments in-state and out-of-state to compete with.

I agree, they're hard to keep up with.

Thats what I figured. The Ohio River just cant compete with the Atlantic Ocean

How do you think Greenup will do?

No real strong teams this year.Should be some good games.

Seems like its a little weaker than usual this season.

Ashland is on a roll. I think they will fair well.
