The Tug Valley Panthers, fueled by their passionate fanbase, secured their second consecutive Class A state championship with a decisive 65-45 victory over Tucker County. After a tight first half, where Tug Valley held a slim four-point lead, the Panthers exploded in the third quarter, unleashing a 17-0 run that effectively sealed the game. Led by Braydun Ferris's dominant 27-point performance and Ashton Davis's key contributions, Tug Valley capitalized on their momentum and the crowd's energy. Despite Tucker County's efforts, including Garrett Wilfong's impressive 17-point, 14-rebound game played through injury, the Panthers' efficient shooting and minimal turnovers proved too much to overcome. This victory marks Tug Valley's fifth state title in program history and solidifies their position as a dominant force in Class A basketball.
