Tug Valley secured their second consecutive Class A state championship with a dominant 65-45 victory over Tucker County, fueled by an explosive third-quarter performance. The Panthers, feeding off their energized crowd, began the second half with a decisive 17-0 run, effectively putting the game out of reach. Braydun Ferris led the charge with 27 points, showcasing his offensive prowess and solidifying his reputation as one of the state's top guards. Despite Tucker County's strong rebounding effort, led by Garrett Wilfong's 17 points and 14 rebounds, they struggled to convert second-chance opportunities and couldn't match Tug Valley's offensive efficiency. Tug Valley's balanced scoring, with Kaden Hale adding 15 points and Ashton Davis contributing 10, combined with their disciplined ball handling and strong shooting, proved too much for the Mountain Lions. This victory marks Tug Valley's fifth state championship and their second consecutive title, solidifying their place as a dominant force in Class A basketball.
