Bridgeport secured the West Virginia Class AAA state championship with a decisive 62-40 victory over Nitro, showcasing a dominant performance fueled by exceptional defense and rebounding. The Indians' stifling defense held Nitro to just six first-half field goals and limited them to 37% shooting for the game, a testament to their postseason defensive prowess. Bridgeport's control of the boards, with a remarkable 39-15 rebounding advantage, proved crucial in their victory. Key factors in their success included efficient shooting, particularly from Carter Zuliani, Jack Spatafore, and Landon Sanders, and a collective team buy-in that translated to on-court dominance. Nitro, on the other hand, struggled with shooting accuracy and rebounding, failing to establish a rhythm and being outmatched physically. This victory marked Bridgeport's first state championship in 24 years, their third overall, capping off a stellar 26-1 season, and Phoenix Sickles was named the tournament's most outstanding player.
