0213 Spartans Win State
Mountain Brook High Schools' Varsity Basketball Team has its eye on another state championship.
The Mountain Brook Spartans trailed underdog Huntsville High but poured it on to pull away for a 61-42 win in a Class 7A Northeast Regional semifinal victory Thursday at Jacksonville State University.
The Spartans (25-7), aiming for a third straight state championship, were paced by Hunter Lucas' 14 points. Huntsville ended its season 9-22.
Mountain Brook will face the winner of Gadsden City and Vestavia Hills in the region final Tuesday in Jacksonville.
The Lady Spartans weren't so fortunate, losing to top-ranked Huntsville 66-40. Sara Carr led Mountain Brook with 11 points.
