Stillwater Crowned State Champions

Stillwater 59   Marcellus 50

Leading Scorers:  Stillwater – Lukas Lilac 21   Kaelan Leak 12   Jaxon Mueller 10        Marcellus – Burnett 15   Donegan 14

Key Stat:  Stillwater scored 16 unanswered points to finish the second frame.

Take Away:  Trailing 19-12 early in the second period, Stillwater went on a 21-4 run before the half and took a 33-23 advantage into the beak. That lead ballooned to 37-23 in the opening minutes of the third before Marcellus cut into the deficit closing the margin to 41-34 entering the final quarter.

With just under two minutes remaining Stillwater held a tenuous 54-50 lead, but Marcellus would draw no closer as Stillwater hit clutch free throws down the stretch, closing out their state title run with the Class B championship.

Stillwater completes a remarkable season at 27-1 including league, sectional, regional and state championships.  Congratulations to Coach Lilac, his staff, and most importantly the Stillwater players on a historic basketball campaign.
