HOT SPRINGS — Something wild was bound to happen with two undefeated squads playing for a state championship, and that is exactly what occurred.
Mount Vernon-Enola guard Marlee Raby all but sealed the Lady Warhawks' second consecutive state championship when she scored the game's final points on somewhat of an accidental play, as the MVE took down Mansfield 50-44.
While the two points are what MVE head coach Adam Carlton envisioned, that was not exactly how he thought it would play out.
"I was trying to get Raby the ball for some free throws, but when everybody took off down the other way you have to go and shoot that layup," Carlton told Arkansas PBS immediately following the game.
"That was not necessarily set, we wanted everybody to go over her and hopefully get her by herself, but we even went the wrong way right then."
