Bridgeport High School secured their first state championship in 24 years with a dominant 62-40 victory over Nitro in the Class AAA final. Bridgeport's suffocating defense, which had been a hallmark of their postseason run, held Nitro to just 37% shooting. The Indians' dominance on the boards, boasting a 39-15 rebounding advantage, further solidified their control of the game. Bridgeport established an early lead and maintained it throughout, with strong performances from Jack Spatafore, Carter Zuliani, and Landon Sanders. Despite Nitro's efforts, they couldn't overcome Bridgeport's physicality and defensive intensity. Bridgeport's victory was a culmination of a season marked by strong defensive play and a team-wide commitment to their game plan, culminating in a well-deserved state championship.
