Man High School picked up a huge win on the road at Wahama with a final score of 64-51 to capture the single A region four co-championship. The Man Hillbillies are now headed to the W.Va. Boys Basketball State Tournament in Charleston.

The Hillbilles and White Falcons were in a close contest up to halftime with a Man lead 30-24 at the break. The Billies length and size proved to be too much in this one for Wahama as Man sustained a healthy lead after halftime.

The Hillbillies were led by Austin Ball with 23 points and a multiple slam dunks. Caleb Blevins finished with sixteen. Jackson Tackett and Ryan Cozart both earned nine points. Jeremiah Harless brought in eight for the Man win.
