But theyâve never won a state championship.
Until Saturday morning.
Thatâs when the Hillbillies defeated previously unbeaten Pendleton County, 43-36, in the Class A state championship game at the Charleston Coliseum.
The win capped off a storybook season and âMay Madnessâ for the Hillbillies, which were ranked No. 1 in the state for most of the season and were regarded as the favorites to win it all.
The state crown was especially sweet for its players, including seniors Peyton Adams, Ryan Cozart, Hunter Anderson and Christian Toler.
Adams played a huge role in Manâs state finals win over Pendleton as he netted 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch and helped the Billies erase a four-point deficit.
