6A State Champions

<p>February 26th Wells Fargo Arena - ASU</p> <p>Pinnacle took on Chaparral for the third time this season. Pinnacle had won both of the match-ups this season and as I predicted, Pinnacle won the third and won the State Championship. Nico Mannion looked impressive, as always, and had the highlight dunk of the night. The final score: 83-64.</p> <p>This capped off a historic high school career for Pinnacle's Nico Mannion. Mannion is the first and only Gatorade Player of the Year winner to win the award and play the next season with that same team. Mannion has led Pinnacle to two straight state championships and they will truly miss him as he graduates this year and will continue his basketball career at The University of Arizona, playing alongside his best friend, Josh Green from IMG Academy.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Key Wins This Season:</span></p> <p>Nov. 21 Gilbert 58-43 W</p> <p>Nov. 30 Shadow Mountain 82-80 W</p> <p>Dec. 6 San Joaquin Memorial 90-69 W</p> <p>Dec. 20 Sandra Day O'Connor 79-59</p> <p>Jan. 11 Liberty 96-69 W</p> <p>Jan. 15 Chaparral 86-70 W</p> <p>Feb. 1 Chaparral 91-88 W</p> <p>Feb. 21 Perry 79-69 W</p> <p>Feb. 26 Chaparral 83-64 W State Championship</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pinnacle Roster:</span></p> <p><strong>1 Nico Mannion PG Sr 6'2</strong></p> <p><strong>2 Clay Zupke G Jr 6'0</strong></p> <p><strong>3 Marcus Libman G Jr 6'0</strong></p> <p><strong>4 Keegan Schenk F Sr 6'3</strong></p> <p><strong>12 Ej Alinder G Jr 5'11</strong></p> <p><strong>13 Kaden Kranson G Jr 5'8</strong></p> <p><strong>14 Tosh Baker C Jr 6'10</strong></p> <p><strong>22 Jordan Mains PF Sr 6'6</strong></p> <p><strong>23 Connor Findsen F Jr 6'0</strong></p> <p><strong>24 Trent Brown PG Sr 6'2</strong></p> <p><strong>34 Colby Howard F Sr 6'5</strong></p> <p><strong>35 Spencer Allen F Jr 6'2</strong></p> <p><strong>40 Harrison Gaunt G Jr 5'9</strong></p> <p><strong>44 Robert Hurst C Sr 6'6</strong></p> <p><strong>51 Alex Propstra C Sr 6'6</strong></p>
