Sports
James Monroe delivered a dominant performance in the Class A state championship game, securing a 72-47 victory over Greater Beckley Christian and claiming their program's first state title. The Mavericks showcased exceptional offensive efficiency, shooting 60% from the field and converting 10 of 19 three-point attempts, coupled with a strong defensive effort. Shad Sauvage led the charge with 23 points, including five three-pointers, while Eli Allen contributed 20 points and 12 assists. James Monroe's hot start and consistent execution throughout the game allowed them to maintain a comfortable lead, withstanding Greater Beckley Christian's attempts to rally. Despite a previous on-court loss that was later forfeited due to ineligible players, James Monroe finished the season with a 28-0 record, solidifying their place in history. The Mavericks' cohesive teamwork and sharp shooting proved too much for Greater Beckley Christian, who struggled to find offensive rhythm, particularly outside of Kaden Smallwood's 21-point contribution.
