The Tug Valley Panthers just won their third consecutive boys’ basketball Class A championship after defeating the number one seed Great Beckley Christian 64-54. The Panthers are just the seventh team in West Virginia boys’ basketball history to win three state championships in a row, joining an impressive list of programs. This also makes this their sixth championship in school history.
Tug Valley started the game off slow, going down as much as eight points in the first quarter but quickly got it going behind a 30-point performance by senior Braydun Harris, earning him the MVP of the tournament. Harris finished his high school career with as good of an ending as you can possibly ask for, scoring 86 points in three games and surpassing 2,000 career points.
Not many players get to say they have won a state championship, Tug Valley’s seniors get to say they have won three! They will forever be in the West Virginia boys’ basketball record books.
