Sports
Fairmont Senior secured their second consecutive Class AAA state championship with a thrilling 47-42 victory over top-seeded Shady Spring, showcasing a team effort that overcame a regular-season blowout loss. Coach David Retton emphasized the team's execution and buy-in, particularly highlighting the contributions of role players who stepped up in crucial moments. Despite Zycheus Dobbs, last year's hero, fouling out and scoring only one point, the Polar Bears found strength in freshman Julz Butler, guards Andre Grant and Connor Gower, DeSean Goode's consistent performance, and Latique Williams's defensive prowess. Shady Spring, led by Braden Chapman's 23 points and Ammar Maxwell's 13, battled fiercely, but Fairmont Senior's strategic defensive adjustments and clutch plays down the stretch, including key free throws from Butler and a game-sealing layup from Gower, secured their victory. Goode's 18 points and efficient shooting, combined with Butler's 10, propelled Fairmont Senior to the championship, marking their ability to excel in high-pressure situations and execute a well-devised game plan.
