SC Advances to Class AAA Finals
Prior to Friday night's Class AAA semi-final between South Charleston and Morgantown, much of the talk centered around what South Charleston would not have. With a handful of Black Eagles being suspended for the remainder of the State Tournament, many in the Charleston Civic Center wondered if they would be able to keep up with Morgantown fielding just a nine-man team. While the Black Eagles were missing some players, they certainly weren't missing sophomore guard Aaron Dobson. At the end of the game, the only question left regarding the Black Eagles is whether they can upset two-time defending champion Huntington on Saturday night.
