Metamora Tournament Trivia:

After leaving the M-WHT after the 2003 event, the Redbirds are returning to the tourney field.

Redbird head coach Jim Youngman is very familiar with Western Hall and the M-WHT. For three seasons starting in 1998, Youngman was Abingdon's head coach. One of those tournaments (2000) was won by a Youngman-coached team.

Since Youngman's stop in Abingdon, he has coached in Highland, Springfield (Lanphier) and Oregon.

Aaron Zobrist and Brad DuBois were named MVP of the tournament in consecutive years (1992-93).

R.J. Romani shares the tournament record of 24 rebounds in a game. (vs. Monmouth, 1995). That record is also held by Camp Point's Jeff Nielsen.
