Thirty years ago today, the Mason County Royals, coached by Fred Hester, won the boys' 17 and under state AAU basketball tournament.
Mason County beat St. Xavier 68-64 in the championship game at Western Hills High School in Frankfort.
That was a pretty big deal. The state AAU tournament was the most important summer event back then.
Mason County was coming off back-to-back 10th Region championships following the Maysville and Mason County schools merging.
The Royals would complete the 10th Region three-peat in March of 1994.
