Charter B defeated Charter A in the finals 315-220, and Oakland Mills defeated Livingston A to take third, by a score of 330-320. Congratulations to these teams, and thanks to everyone for coming out! Stats will be up sometime in the near future.

Thanks to Phoenixville HS for hosting this tournament! We really enjoyed it and would love to see it run again next year!

[Panayot Hitov]

This was all in all a good tournament, from all of the teams that we played and the great effort put on by the Phoenixville team in organizing it to the great mexican place that totally popped up out of the blue after the like 10 pizza restaurants and the surprisingly pleasant drive up. Thanks for hosting this.

Yeah, I enjoyed bringing our "unorthodox, unpredictable, unstoppable" playing style to Pennsylvania. I thought that, although it may have went on too long, it was, overall, a well run tournament. I hope this isn't the last PhAQT!

[rmccoll]

Thank you to all teams for participating in the first annual PhAQT! We enjoyed hosting such a great field of teams and coaches. We also apologize for the delays throughout the day. Your patience was much appreciated. Best of luck to all teams for the rest of the season!
