CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — Two weeks of high school basketball state championships from inside the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center have come to a close. Fifty-six games of girls' and boys' basketball games were played, and the Chapmanville Tigers boys' basketball team is the areas lone state champion capturing the Class AA crown. The Tigers knocked off Charleston Catholic 59-49 to win the state title.

"Super proud of these guys," Chapmanville head coach Brad Napier said. "They played their tails off all week. We had some battles. We knew with this deep AA field, we knew it was going to be really a tall task to come away with a championship."

The Tigers come away with their third state title, all done under Brad Napier's watch. His star players and bench all stepped up when their number was called. Coach has built something special during his eight years at the helm.

"These guys didn't want to lose and they did everything they could do to win this championship and they earned it," Napier said. "They went through three really good teams and super proud of them. The energy they played with, the excitement they played with...Isaiah Smith, Devon Workman were huge. They made huge play after play after play."

In order to win, players have to step up at big moments. The decisive play in the championship occurred in the third quarter. In a tight ball game, maybe the smallest player on the court Sal Dean goes way up for a block and the Tigers headed the other way with Zion Blevins meeting the ball at the rim for two of his team high 22 points.

"It was big, I don't even know what to say right now, just we won a state championship," Dean said.

Charleston Catholic head coach Hunter Moles discussed the play.

"That block, I think we were only down three," Moles recalled. "I think Max has a layup right there to cut it to one and it's a four-point turnaround and it's an easy layup for them on the other end."

Dean made big play after big play for the Tigers. He's got moxie, it shows. And the Tigers feed off his energy.

"Just knowing we went out there my last game that I ever played, we won a state championship," Dean said. "That's how we are supposed to do it, did it right and I didn't want to go home losing."

There's nothing like being able to cut down the nets as a reminder you've won it all. Sometimes the reaction is comical.

"I'm a afraid of heights so I had to secure my first couple steps but once you get up there just looking around, it's just hard to explain really," Chapmanville senior Brody Dean said. "You work for it all year. I played four years to make it to this game and it was my last shot and finally be able to cut that net down just means a lot to me."

Some players dedicated the win to the community.

"Really just a dream come true," Chapmanville junior Zion Blevin said. "This is why I came to Chapmanville to win. Win a ring for my city."

"Coming back to Charleston, I'm from Charleston, just looking around seeing people I know throughout the stands, it just brought tears to my eyes and just glad that we won, just knowing that we did it," Dean added.
