Knoxville
Tournament Trivia:
|
| Mark Simpson, an assistant
last season, is the new Knoxville head
coach. This season marks
Knoxville's final one as a member of the
Olympic Conference which they joined in
1992. They will return to the Prairieland
Conference next season.
The Blue
Bullets have not had a player named to
the all-tournament team since Justin
Bryant earned a spot in 1996.
After four
consecutive years of reaching the
consolation championship game, the Blue
Bullets have gone two-and-out in each of
the last three tournaments.
Due to
snowy conditions, Knoxville was unable to
make the trip to Macomb for day two of
the 2000 tournament. The Blue Bullets
forfeited to A-C Central in the
consolation bracket. It was only the 2nd
time a team has had to forfeit a game
during the tourney.
