Gilbert has done it, they have managed to have one of the most impressive seasons I have ever seen. They went undefeated the entire way and are now the 2019 5A State Champions. Huge congratulations to them and their coach! Congratulations also go out to Millennium HS for making it this far despite having one of the youngest teams in the conference. I expect great things from the Millennium boys for years to come!
The game went much as I anticipated. I thought that these two schools matched up quite nicely against each other in this experience vs youth contest. I fully expected Gilbert to score low due to the defensive presence of DaRon Holmes but credit to Gilbert for also keeping Millennium at bay and keeping the score low.
