Ninth-grader Azera Gates led the Falcons with 21 points, sinking many clutch free throws in the fourth quarter as Shaker attempted to inch closer, and Shonyae Edmonds added 11 points and six rebounds.
As it has been for much of their outstanding season, defense was the key for the Falcons. Gates had three huge steals late in the fourth quarter, and Jordan Johnson, Imani Walcott and Iyana Weeden also contributed tenacious defensive efforts to lead 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High to its first championship game since 2016.
