In the Class AAA state championship, Parkersburg triumphed over University with a final score of 63-52, securing their second consecutive title. For the initial 26 minutes, University matched Parkersburg's intensity, but the Big Reds' relentless defensive pressure ultimately proved decisive. Parkersburg's strong finish, marked by a 20-10 run in the final 7:10, capitalized on University's late-game turnovers. Bre Wilson led Parkersburg with 27 points, including six three-pointers, while Shay Kirby contributed 11 points and became the program's all-time leading scorer. University's Zoe Murphy scored 15 points, and Mallory Napolillo recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. A crucial steal and layup by Parkersburg's Kristen Lowers at the end of the third quarter shifted momentum. Ultimately, University's fatigue, stemming from consecutive tournament games, contributed to their increased turnovers in the second half, allowing Parkersburg to secure the victory and claim their 140th state championship across all athletic programs.
