The Dots did it again! Poca brought the State Class AA Basketball Championship trophy home for the third time on Saturday, March 19. Poca plowed through Magnolia, 43-19, in the quarterfinals and crushed Ravenswood, 60-32, in the semifinals on Friday before outplaying Bluefield, 65-48, in Saturday’s finale.

Last year, Poca fell to Williamstown, 50-47, in the State Championship game. The agony of that defeat was largely erased by the thrill of Saturday’s victory.
