This has been an outstanding season and this year’s championship games will include familiar faces as well as teams that have worked hard and peaked at just the right time. Our congratulations are in order for all of the teams, coaches, administrators, cheerleaders and parents who have supported the athletes through this year’s journey to the final games. I know you will enjoy and appreciate the games and all of the work leading up to this exciting event.

I would also like to thank you for your support of high school basketball throughout the season. Your attendance and support is integral to the success of high school athletics and for the team you are here to cheer on. Good sportsmanship is expected from our athletes and I urge you to be positive in your support of all of our teams. Let’s work together to make today’s games a great experience for all involved.

GEORGIA TECH | MARCH 9 - 10, 2018

DID YOU KNOW? HOLY INNOCENTS’ IS 12-4 AGAINST WESLEYAN OVER THE PAST FIVE SEASONS. THE TEAMS ARE MEETING IN THE FINALS FOR THE FOURTH-STRAIGHT YEAR, AND WESLEYAN HAS WON TWO OUT OF THREE.

HOLY INNOCENTS’ T

GOLDEN BEARS • 29-1 • REGION 5

his year’s Class A-Private girls final is a familiar matchup between the Holy Innocents’ Golden Bears and the Wesleyan Wolves. Last year’s championship game ended with a 51-48 score in favor of the Wolves.

Now, after playing to a 29-1 record, Holy Innocents’ is back where it was last March but is hoping for a different outcome. Senior guard/forwards Kennedy Suttle and Kaila Hubbard make up the core of the returning players from last year’s runner-up team. They provide the team with much-needed upperclassman leadership and were both named to the Top 15 Midseason All-Metro Team by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. In Holy Innocents’ three previous wins over Wesleyan this season, Suttle proved to be more than the Wolves could handle. She along with Hubbard, who became the second player in school history to join the 2,000-point milestone several weeks ago, could prove troublesome yet again for the Wolves. Their performance in the quarterfinals matchup against Christian Heritage resulted in 31 combined points, propelling the team to an 86-49 victory. This combination of experienced players isn’t the only thing driving the team, though. A new talent in 6-foot-3 freshman guard Jillian Hollingshead provides the team with a strong presence in the post who can score and create space. A bad case of the flu had sidelined Hollingshead, but in her return to the court against Christian Heritage, she scored 17 points and grabbed 10 boards to propel her team to the semifinals. Hollingshead continued to produce during their 51-32 victory over Stratford Academy in the semis, scoring 18 points and snagging nine rebounds. Freshman guard/forward Rachel Suttle, the younger sister of Kennedy, added 12 points in that win. With such a wide range of talent, it’s not hard to see how Holy Innocents’ managed to defeat Wesleyan all three times the two have faced off so far.

he Wesleyan Wolves are back for another state championship game. There may not be a more decorated team in the state than Wesleyan, which will look to add to its impressive resume with a 13th state title. The Wolves have played in 15 straight finals and have a 16-0 record in the semifinals. The program sports a 77-5 record in the state tournament, but this season presented a challenge after eight seniors graduated from last year’s championship squad, including McDonald’s All-American Mikayla Coombs. But the team wasn’t without upperclassman stars, and point guard Amaya Register has strong playmaking abilities and a willingness to drive hard to the basket. Alongside senior power forward Sutton West, the duo scored a combined 29 points to advance their team to the semifinals with a 60-20 quarterfinals win over Calvary Day. The Wolves then took on No. 2 seed St. Francis in the semifinals. St. Francis’ 49 points are the most points allowed by Wesleyan in two years of postseason play, but Wesleyan won comfortably, 71-49. Returning from injury is freshman point guard Paige Lyons, who is expected to step in to fill a contributing role. Wesleyan’s junior guard Callie Weaver will also be relied upon to step up. The team will have a tall task in handling Holy Innocents’ 6-foot-3 freshman Jillian Hollingshead. Head coach Jan Azar’s daughter Nicole, a freshman guard, hit several big three-pointers during the course of the season and could be a factor in the Wolves’ success in the title game. Wesleyan has walked away twice victorious in the finals against Holy Innocents’ recently, while losing once, and will look to keep its rival from tying up this head-to-head series in the championship game. Wesleyan won the 2015 title over HIES after dropping three regular-season games to the Golden Bears, proving that prior results can be deceiving.

DID YOU KNOW?

ST. FRANCIS A

ST. FRANCIS SOPHOMORE DWON ODOM NOTCHED HIS SECOND TRIPLE-DOUBLE OF THE SEASON IN THE QUARTERFINALS WITH 20 POINTS, 10 REBOUNDS AND 14 ASSISTS.

KNIGHTS • 27-3 • REGION 6

fter claiming two state titles in a row, the Knights’ streak ended after a 78-66 loss to Greenforest to conclude the 2016 season. St. Francis’ road to the finals has featured nothing but high-scoring games, but this is not the result of a weak defense. The Knights offense is setting an unmatchable scoring pace, outscoring opponents in the postseason by almost 24 points per game with an average of 81 points per game. They will be in prime condition for a true clash of offense and defense against a defensive-minded Aquinas team that put up nearly half as many points as St. Francis did in the semifinals. The Knights roster is full of talent, even after the loss of some key players from last year’s team. Point guard Wallace Tucker graduated after last season, taking away a big part of the Knights offense. But the team has a star in 6-foot-1 sophomore guard Dwon Odom, who has solidified himself as the leader of the St. Francis offense. Also dominant as a freshman last season, Odom has continued to impress during his sophomore campaign. His average of 15.4 points a game is not only the highest on the team, but Odom also logged a triple-double racking up 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in a huge performance against Holy Innocents’ during the semifinals, an 83-54 win. C.J. Riley, a 6-1 junior guard, has increased his shooting role.

His previous two performances against Holy Innocents’ and North Cobb Christian yielded more points per game than his season average of 11.6; he scored 12 points against Holy Innocents’ and 18 points against NCC. St. Francis has yet to play in a tight playoff game but could find itself in one in the championship against the Fightin’ Irish.

AQUINAS L

FIGHTIN’ IRISH • 26-5 • REGION 7

ast year’s attempt to bring home the school’s first-ever boys basketball state championship was cut short after a 63-48 loss to St. Francis in the quarterfinals. Now, Aquinas sports a 24-5 record this season with only one loss in its region, and the Fightin’ Irish are not only looking to take revenge on the Knights, but also make school history. This senior-heavy roster has the advantage of multiple years of experience playing with each other, improving every offseason. Senior guard Tre Gomillion and sophomore forward Zy Wright have been playing lights-out this postseason, combining for just under half of the team’s points in the 66-41 quarterfinal win over Brookstone; Wright had 17 points, and Gomillion scored 15 in the easy win. Gomillion has no issue steering into traffic and making tough shots while heavily contested. Points from transition are a key part of the Aquinas offense, with players like senior guard Trent Bowdre using his vision downcourt to find the open man. After a first-round bye, Aquinas defeated Savannah Christian 63-47 in the second round.

Aquinas’ most recent game against Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy in the semifinals made for a defensive showdown. Head coach Harrison Zeigler continuously rotated players in and out of the game, creating opportunity for everyone to score and rest. His knew his squad had to contain one of the stronger offensive teams in the state with Eagle’s Landing Christian, and with a final score of 47-41 and only 10 field goals made by the Chargers, the Irish were successful. Aquinas faces another explosive offense in St. Francis that has been averaging 81 points per game in the postseason, but if the Irish can keep up the defensive intensity, they can challenge for the program’s first-ever championship.

Head Coach: Cedric King

ovejoy is looking to cap off a truly dominant season with its first-ever state girls title. Head coach Cedric King’s team has lost just one game, a three-point loss to Region 4 opponent Stephenson. But the Wildcats went undefeated the rest of the way in region play at 15-1 and bring a 31-1 overall record into the championship game. Lovejoy breezed through the first two rounds of the playoffs, defeating LakesideEvans 54-19 in the first round and Northside-Warner Robins 52-23 in the second. The quarterfinals, however, proved to be one of the most exciting games of the playoff season. No. 1 Lovejoy traveled to No. 2 Winder-Barrow, featuring UConn signee Olivia Nelson-Ododa, and survived 68-67 after overtime. Star sophomore guard Genesis Bryant scored 33 points for the Wildcats to go with six steals and three assists. Bryant’s fellow sophomore Anaya Boyd contributed 20 points with seven rebounds and four steals.

The Wildcats prevailed despite a triple-double from Nelson-Ododa with 24 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocked shots. Lovejoy fell behind 61-56 in the overtime period but went on a 12-6 run to close out the win. “We just had to keep playing, you can’t stop playing,” King told the Clayton News-Daily. “If you don’t keep playing and competing like we do you’ll get caught up in it. The girls settled down and we made plays.” Lovejoy was back to its dominant self in the semifinals, defeating Northview 70-42 to move on to the finals. The Wildcats could not get past that point last season, falling to eventual-champion Mays in the semis. But Bryant’s 18 points and Kayla Brown’s 16 points and 10 rebounds led the way in the blowout win, which Lovejoy led 35-17 at halftime. Boyd had 11 points, seven assists and five steals.

HOYAS

arrison was the Class AAAAAA runner-up last season, falling 52-51 to Mays in a thrilling championship game. This weekend, Harrison is looking to seal the deal. The Hoyas were ranked No. 3 entering the postseason and bring a 26-4 overall record and a Region 6 title into the finals. Harrison cruised to comfortable wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals to earn its place in the championship game, 69-37 over Bradwell Institute and 68-54 over Douglas County, and had to overcome an unorthodox playoff schedule.

Harrison had more than a week’s layoff before the second-round win (61-54 over Lanier) due to Tucker’s disqualification from the tournament. But the team showed little signs of rust in its home blowout win over Bradwell, in which Sarah Woghiren scored a game-high 18 points. Audrey Jordan (12 points), Harper Vick (11 points) and MaeOla Willis (10 points) also helped with the scoring. In the semifinals, Vick took center stage with 20 points and eight rebounds, and Woghiren added 17 points. “Their goals were to win region and make it back to this point,” Harrison head coach Steve Lenahan told the Marietta Daily Journal. “That’s what they’ve been working toward. They’ve been playing better together come playoff time. They are confident because what they have been doing is working.” In the team’s closest playoff victory, over Lanier, the Hoyas took the lead in the closing minutes of a game that entered the fourth quarter tied at 38-38. But Harrison hit 17 of 20 free throws in the final frame, going 24-for-29 for the game to essentially win at the free-throw line. Woghiren and Jordan both scored 18 points and combined to go 13-of-17 at the charity stripe. Harrison led 26-21 at halftime before losing that lead in the third quarter.

DID YOU KNOW? DEFENDING CHAMPION LANGSTON HUGHES UPSET NO. 1 RANKED GAINESVILLE 72-69 IN OVERTIME OF LAST YEAR’S QUARTERFINALS BEFORE CLINCHING THE PROGRAM’S FIRST STATE TITLE.

GAINESVILLE T

RED ELEPHANTS • 24-6 • REGION 8

he Red Elephants have stomped their way through the Class 6A playoffs, beating teams by an average of 30.3 points per game along the way, to set up a rematch with defending state champion Langston Hughes. When the teams met last year in the quarterfinals, Gainesville stormed back from nine points down in the fourth quarter to force overtime, but Hughes prevailed 72-69. It was a rough shooting night for Gainesville, which connected on just four of 24 attempts from beyond the arc. Expectations remained sky-high as this season arrived, but a difficult front end of Gainesville’s schedule got the best of the Red Elephants early and dropped them to 2-6 after eight games. Head coach Benjie Wood’s squad, however, hasn’t lost since on their way to a 24-6 record, and their 22-game winning streak has been accentuated by the utter dominance they’ve displayed on their current postseason run. Gainesville’s 111-66 win over Lakeside-Evans in the quarterfinals displayed just how dangerous this offense is when all of its pieces are working together. Led by 6-foot-4 guard Xavier Bledson’s game-high 23 points, Kajuan Hale’s 22 and K.J. Buffen’s 18, Gainesville shot an outstanding 58 percent from the field as a team on 42-of-72 shooting. Four days later, Gainesville ignited once again for a 102-86 semifinal win over Heritage-Conyers.

Five different players scored in double-figures, and it was sophomore point guard Rafael Rubel netting a team-high 22 points this time. Bledson finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds and nearly completed a triple-double with his eight assists. Also chipping in were Jarrel Rosser (16 points), Jarred Rosser (13) and Kajuan Hale (10), who combined for 39 points. Gainesville’s last state title came in 1984, when the program successfully defended its first and only other state crown it won in 1983.

angston Hughes made it to the finals for the first time in program history a year ago and thrived in the spotlight, defeating Brunswick convincingly 73-52. Now, the Panthers are back on the championship stage for the second-straight year and looking to repeat against a red-hot Gainesville squad that nearly ended last year’s historic run in the quarterfinals. The Panthers feature a roster filled with long and athletic playmakers, including 6-foot-7 Virginia Tech signee Landers Nolley II, who is averaging 30.2 points and 8.0 rebounds per game this season. Nolley along with two other stars, 6-foot-5 senior Tyler Smith (12.6 ppg) and 6-foot-4 junior Tyrel Morgan (12.6 ppg), give the Panthers a trio of wings who can play inside or outside the paint.

This group has come up big throughout the playoffs, including Hughes’ hard-fought 71-67 win over Coffee in the quarterfinals. Rallying back from a 40-32 halftime deficit, Nolley finished with 34 points, Smith had 12 points and Morgan added 11. In the semifinals, Nolley showcased his range in the fourth quarter as Hughes ran away with a 69-49 win over Jonesboro, finishing with 27 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

After the game, Hughes head coach Rory Welsh spoke with the AJC about about his star’s shot selection.

“He wasn’t forcing anything,” Welsh complimented Nolley. “He’s been doing a better job of taking what the defense gives him. In the third quarter, they were running double-teams at him and he didn’t get any clean looks, but he made the right reads in terms of passing the ball to his teammates. In the fourth quarter, we were able to run a couple of quick-hitters with him coming off of screens, and he caught them in rhythm and was able to knock them down.”

HENRY COUNTY H

HENRY COUNTY WON ITS FIRST AND ONLY STATE TITLE IN 1960.

WARHAWKS • 29-1 • REGION 4

Head Coach: Greg Shook

enry County used a 16-5 run in the final 4:37 of its 51-38 semifinal win over Americus-Sumter to close out the Panthers. The Warhawks led the entire game as the Panthers desperately tried to take control, and No. 2 Henry County led just 19-18 at the half. Americus-Sumter brought the score within 35-33 late in the final frame before Henry County sparked its massive 16-5 run. It was a landmark victory for the Warhawks’ program as they now play for their first state title since 1960. It was also an emotional win after an emotional week for head coach Greg Shook, whose mother passed away earlier in the week. “It’s always good to make it one more round, which means we’re playing in the last game you can play in for high school,” Shook said to the Henry Herald following the game. “It’s important to us, important to our kids and important to our school. It’s a great thing and I’m glad that we’re here.” For Henry County, Auburn signee Brooke Moore and Janiya Jones can offer an incredible one-two punch, but the scoring comes from up and down the talented roster. Moore led the Warhawks in the quarterfinals, a 59-50 win over Jefferson, with her 22 points, and Jones netted a game-high 24 points in their 82-61 win over Upson-Lee in the second round. Amaiya Jackson was Henry County’s top scorer in the semifinals with 19 points, and she also added 12 rebounds and four steals. Moore finished with 11 points, Jones finished with nine points and Janaya Wadsworth turned in nine points, five rebounds and three assists. Moore will attract a ton of defensive pressure from Spalding, as will Jones, but the more involvement from the Warhawks role players, the more dangerous Henry County can be.

palding arrives at the finals in the midst of the most successful season in its program’s history. When head coach Tykira Gilbert arrived in 2016, she became the fourth different head coach to lead the Jaguars in a five-year span. After falling in the first round of the 2016 playoffs, Spalding reached the Elite Eight last year, and her team has taken a stellar 27-3 record all the way to this year’s championship. The Jags have a healthy blend of experienced upperclassmen and rising stars and have a prolific scorer in the making with sophomore Corriana Evans. She opened the playoffs with a 22-point performance and then dropped 26 points in Spalding’s 63-56 win over Luella in the second round. Evans was limited to just 10 points in the quarterfinals, but senior Kiana Banks led the way with 24 points, including the game-winning three-pointer that lifted No. 3 Spalding past Madison County 55-53 and saved their season. Spalding took down the classification’s top-ranked team, Carver-Columbus, last Friday in the semifinals 58-51. Evans was sidelined with foul trouble for much of the game but scored six of her eight points in the final quarter to help clinch the victory. Aniaya Jester finished with 15 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks for an incredible stat line, while Banks contributed 13 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and three blocks. Jester’s quickness and crafty ball-handling skills overwhelmed Carver-Columbus and will be something for Henry County to watch for as Evans works the post down low and Banks finds her rhythm on offense. Freshman Kierstyn Milner (10 points) and junior Kayla Milner (15 points) combined for 25 points in the 79-40 first-round win over Shaw and have also performed well this postseason.

ST. PIUS X S

GOLDEN LIONS • 28-3 • REGION 8

Head Coach: Aaron Parr

t. Pius defeated Baldwin 66-61 at home in the semifinals to set up their rematch with the defending champs. The Golden Lions opened up a 10-0 lead on Baldwin before the Braves got going. Quick starts like this have been characteristic of St. Pius’s current playoff run; the Golden Lions opened up a 15-0 lead and led White County 38-11 before posting a 76-34 win in the first round. St. Pius defeated Troup County 66-46 in the second round and Carver-Columbus 77-65 in the third. The other trend has been lights-out shooting by Everett Lane, and he came up big in the semifinals by connecting on seven three-pointers and leading all scorers with 25 points. Troy Stephens finished with 11 points and also helped hold off the Braves in the second half. “We have guys, the moment’s not too big for them,” St. Pius head coach Aaron Parr told the AJC after the victory. “They’re just clutch kids, and they responded to Baldwin giving us everything we wanted and more.” When Lane heats up from deep, the Golden Lions are incredibly dangerous. Upson-Lee saw this last year, as his shooting was the only thing keeping St. Pius in the game after their dreadful shooting as a team in the first two quarters. St. Pius managed just 14 points in the first half of last year’s championship game, as the Golden Lions had gone 4-for-22 from the field and 2-for-10 on three-pointers when they opened the third quarter trailing 27-14. But Lane drilled a trio of three-pointers in the third quarter to spark an 11-3 run, and suddenly the Knights’ lead had shrunk to four points. UpsonLee pulled away, but Lane ended up leading all scorers with 29 points and was 7-of-15 from beyond the arc.

pson-Lee survived an intense 52-51 battle with Sandy Creek in the semifinals that extended its winning streak to 62 games and set up a finals rematch with St. Pius. The Knights took down St. Pius 53-48 a year ago at McCamish Pavilion and clinched their first-ever state title in the process. Tye Fagan was a junior last season and finished with a team-high 20 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in the championship game. Fagan’s incredible 2017 campaign earned him Class AAAA Player of the Year, and he returned this season to lead a team that was only losing two senior contributors. Fagan has continued to provide the Knights with a consistent superstar throughout their two-season-long winning streak and is arguably the best guard in the state. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard lifted the Knights past Sandy Creek in the semifinals with his gamehigh 23 points, while surpassing the 2,000-point mark for his career. Travon Walker is Upson-Lee’s junior big man and a 6-foot-6 double-double machine. Walker netted 13 points in Upson-Lee’s 53-44 win over Salem in the second round and added 20 rebounds and six blocks. In addition to Fagan and Walker, Upson-Lee boasts guards Zyrice Scott and Cameron Traylor, and senior JaCorey Smith. Smith chipped in 14 points and five rebounds in the semifinals, and Scott lit up Mary Persons with 31 points in the Region 2-AAAA championship on Feb. 9, a 78-56 Knights victory. Upson-Lee defeated Northside-Columbus (65-34), Salem (52-44) and LaFayette (70-40) in the first three rounds. Head coach Darrell Lockhart knows how tough it has been to maintain this unprecedented level of success and has kept this group patient and driven on its return to the finals.

Lockhart also has instilled a defensive pride in his players that is stitched into their U-L identity.

he Newton girls are making their first trip to the state finals since 1963 and are looking for their firstever state title. But not only did the Lady Rams reach their first championship game in 55 years, they did it in style, coming back from a huge second-half deficit to take down four-time defending champion McEachern, which had won 23 straight state-playoff games. Newton trailed by 18 points at home, 43-25, after McEachern scored on its first possession of the third quarter. But the Lady Rams held McEachern scoreless until 2:36 remaining in the period and finally took the lead with 5:38 remaining in the game on a Lexii Chatman three-pointer. Chatman led Newton with 20 points, helped by 15 points from Jurnee Smith and eight points from Erianna Card. “We’ve been talking about everybody knows Norcross, everybody knows McEachern, everybody knows Westlake,” Newton head coach Tiffani Johnson told the AJC’s Stan Awtrey after her team’s semifinal win. “We’ve been putting in work for a long time. It’s nice to put our name up there so everybody knows who we are.” Despite a 24-3 record after the region tournament (the team beat South Gwinnett 60-44 for the Region 8 title), Newton entered the playoffs as just the No. 7 team in the state with a stacked field. The Lady Rams took down Central Gwinnett (77-47) and Lambert (46-40) in the first two rounds before facing adversity in their home quarterfinals game against No. 4 Cherokee. Newton trailed 53-48 heading into the fourth quarter, but Card’s late two-point jumper gave her team a 68-66 lead it would not relinquish. Jurnee Smith went 7-of-8 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, and Je-nya Smith was 6-of-8 from the stripe to help Newton hang on for the 66-57 victory.

estlake is looking to cap off a dominant season in which it has spent all year at No. 1 and gone undefeated against Georgia competition, only losing once overall (to Kentucky power Mercer County). The Lady Lions are in uncharted territory for the program with this trip to the finals; previously, the team was 0-4 all-time in the semifinals, all under head coach Hilda Hankerson, who has led Westlake since 1998. The team has made the state playoffs 19 times in Hankerson’s 21 seasons and has made the quarterfinals the past three. Westlake started the playoffs in top form in the first two rounds, defeating Camden County (68-43) and Marietta (7249) to set up a much-anticipated quarterfinals matchup with No. 2 Collins Hill. Despite having to travel to Gwinnett County after losing a coin flip, the Lady Lions proceeded to rout Collins Hill 59-34 behind 23 points from senior guard Anastasia Warren. After going down 17-14 with 5:25 left in the first half, Westlake controlled the game from there, allowing just 21 points over the last three quarters. Last Saturday, the Lady Lions punched their ticket to the final with a 52-44 win over No. 5 North Forsyth. Westlake got a much tougher test against a scrappy Lady Raiders squad, which led 36-34 midway through the fourth quarter using a slow-down game plan. But then Westlake exploded to take the lead, going on an 11-0 run in the final period. Warren again led the team with 13 points. Freshman sensation Raven Johnson, a guard, scored 11 points, as did senior swing player Taylor Hosendove. The trio leads an unusually balanced scoring attack, as both Warren and Hosendove average 11.4 points per game while Johnson averages 10.6 per game, the only three Westlake players in doublefigures. The Lady Lions have another three players averaging better than six points per game.

BLUE DEVILS • 28-3 • REGION 7

esse McMillan’s Norcross team won five titles in the state’s highest classification in eight years, 200613, in one of the most dominant stretches the state has ever seen. In the four seasons since, the Blue Devils have lost in the finals twice (to Tift County both times) and once each in the quarterfinals and second round. After another strong regular season, Norcross won the Region 7 tournament championship game 53-52 over Meadowcreek with a buzzer-beating three-pointer from junior Kyle Sturdivant, his second over the Mustangs in a month. The dramatic win set the playoff stage for the No. 2-ranked Blue Devils, who easily handled Walton (71-47) and Westlake (87-49) in the first two rounds of the state tourney. The Blue Devils then prepared for a quarterfinals clash against McEachern, the preseason favorite and top-ranked team heading into the postseason. The Indians were also ranked in the top 10 by several national polls and were looking to finish the season as the wire-to-wire No. 1 but had to travel to Norcross due to a third-round coin flip to determine home court for the two No. 1 seeds. Norcross controlled the game from the opening tip, leading 24-8 after the first quarter and cruising to a 75-55 win. Brandon Boston led the way with 25 points. Sturdivant, the Region 7 Player of the Year, scored 12 points, and junior post player Issa Muhammad had 14 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks. In the semifinals, No. 3 Newton and its 5-star guard Ashton Hagans stood in the Blue Devils’ way. But Norcross prevailed convincingly again, beating Newton 86-66 at Buford City Arena behind 23 points from Boston and 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists from Sturdivant. Norcross has just one loss to a Georgia team and is 3-0 against Meadowcreek, with one 15-point win and two one-point wins.

MEADOWCREEK U

MUSTANGS • 24-6 • REGION 7

nlike their crosstown rival Norcross, Meadowcreek is looking for its first-ever boys state title. The Mustangs entered the playoffs at No. 6 in the state, having lost to Norcross three times and once each to strong teams in Pebblebrook, Morgan County and Virginia powerhouse Paul VI. Curtis Gilleylen’s team recovered quickly from its last-second loss in the Region 7 tournament title game to Norcross, dispatching South Gwinnett (43-34), Lambert (56-47) and Campbell (67-57) in the first three rounds of the state tourney to reach the program’s first semifinals. But Meadowcreek had a major test in the semifinals with No. 8 Grayson. The Mustangs held a three-point lead over the Rams in the waning seconds and decided to foul Grayson’s D.J. Williams before he could get off a potential game-tying three-pointer. Williams made the first and intentionally missed the second, but Meadowcreek’s Cory Hightower grabbed the ball off the carom to seal the win and send the team to its first state final. Hightower had a huge game with 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Jamir Chapman matched his scoring total with 18 points to go with seven rebounds. Amari Kelly had 10 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Dequarius Nichols hit three of four free throws in the final 33 seconds to help preserve Meadowcreek’s historic win. “This means a bunch,” Gilleylen said to the AJC’s Stan Awtrey after the semis win. “We’ve kind of been the forgot-about program for a while, and now we’re making a statement, saying Meadowcreek athletics is a premier athletic program. And we want to win it all. We feel like we’ve got some unfinished business. We know our foe is going to be formidable, we know them very well, a very talented team, but we’ve got some talent in our locker room, as well.”
