avenscroft entered the tournament with a record of 27-3 and just needed 4 wins to accomplish what they were working for all year. The Ravens’ first game was Tuesday versus North Raleigh Christian Academy who they cruised by and won 53-37. Thursday afternoon at 2:30 the Ravens would face Charlotte Latin. Madison Jones, ‘12, led all scores with 27 points and great help from Anton Gill, ‘13, with 12 points. The Ravens won 81-49 and moved on to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the Ragin’ Ravens took on powerhouse Christ School, State Champions for the past five years. Gill and Jones were determined not to let them win again by playing good defense and both scoring 22 points. Ravenscroft defeated Christ School, 74-55, and moved on to the State Championship. The Ravens faced Greensboro Day, a tough team who defeated them earlier in the season 60-56. Wanting much revenge and driven to win the State Championship, the Ravens came out on fire with a 14 point lead in the first quarter. Greensboro Day rallied back and would not go until late in the 4th quarter. Ravens big three, Marcus Bryan,‘13, Gill and Jones, all had big games with 17, 14, and 22, respecitively. This is Ravenscroft School’s first State Championship in 32 years.
