West Hancock Tournament Trivia:

West Hancock is a co-op between Hamilton and Warsaw/Nauvoo-Colusa high schools and was established in basketball in 2008. The West Hancock co-op has been in place for football since 2004.

Since forming the West Hancock co-op in 2008, the Titans are 6-4 in the tournament securing two consolation championships.

West Hancock is still searching for their first opening round win.

Last year, the Titans went two-and-out. It was the first time that either West Hancock or the schools that form the co-op went two-and-out since both Hamilton and Warsaw went winless in the 2004 tournament.

Hamilton picked up two wins in their final year as a solo tournament entry. It was the first time they had won two tournament games since 2002.

Over the years, Warsaw had three players named MVP of the tournament:
Jason Edwin (1998)
Billie Bavery (1991)
Steve Rothert (1985)

Despite two tournament titles, Hamilton never had a player named Tourney MVP.

Since the turn of the century, teams making their debut into the tournament field have fared rather well. Those six teams: Southern ('01), Rock Falls ('03), South Fulton ('05), Monmouth-Roseville ('05), Pleasant Plains ('06), Warsaw/Nauvoo-Colusa ('06), and Western ('07); earned a combined record of 13-9 in their inaugural tourney season.
