Jalen Lewis added 13 points for Martinsburg.

Andrew Johnson led Woodrow Wilson with 19 points and freshman Nequan Carrington scored 12.

Martinsburg seemed to be in control after Lewis capped an 8-0 run with a 3-pointer for a 45-28 lead with 3:13 left in the third quarter. But Martinsburg made just one field goal the rest of the game.

Woodrow Wilson scored 14 straight points to pull within 45-42 with 4:28 remaining in the game.

Martinsburg then made six straight free throws over a 42-second span to push the lead to nine, but Woodrow Wilson wasn't done.

Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 3:18 left and Woodrow Wilson teammate Dai Dai Fortune made four free throws to trim the deficit to 51-49 with 1:37 left.

Again, Martinsburg answered. After Lewis made a free throw with 52 seconds remaining, Jordan Robinson made a steal and fed Lewis for a layup with 42 seconds left.

CLASS AA

Bluefield 63, Fairmont Senior 43

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Anthony Eades scored 27 points and Bluefield beat Fairmont Senior 63-43 in the Class AA championship game on Saturday.

Top-seeded Bluefield made up for the disappointment of losing to Tug Valley in last year's championship game.

Bluefield (25-3) went ahead to stay midway through the first quarter and used a 17-7 run, including nine points by Eades, to finish the first half and lead 36-23 at halftime.

Bluefield won the third championship in school history, adding to titles in 1995 and 1996.

Corey Coppola and Lykel Collier each added 12 points for Bluefield, which shot 50 percent (24 of 48) from the floor.

Second-seeded Fairmont Senior (21-7) was held to its lowest point total of the season.

Fairmont Senior was in the championship game for the first time since 1998, when it lost to Woodrow Wilson in Class AAA. The Polar Bears won titles in 1996, 1949, 1942, 1939 and 1927.

Fairmont Senior's Travon Horton and Jarin Hilson each averaged 17 points in two earlier tournament games.

Hilson fouled out against Bluefield and finished with 11 points. Horton picked up two early fouls, played just 19 minutes and finished with four points.

Austin Norman added 10 points for the Polar Bears.

CLASS A

Tug Valley 58, Charleston Catholic 41

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Aaron Muncy scored 21 points to lead Tug Valley to a 58-41 win over Charleston Catholic in the Class A championship game Saturday.

Austin Brewer added 15 points and Mikey Newsome scored 10 for top-seeded Tug Valley.

It was certain one of the teams would win a second consecutive state crown. Tug Valley took the Class AA title last year before dropping down to Class A. Charleston Catholic won in Class A a year ago.

But there was no repeat of 2012's scoring drought, when Charleston Catholic beat St. Marys 40-34 in the lowest-ever scoring Class A championship game.

Tug Valley (25-3) took the lead for good midway through the second quarter and pulled away after that.

Nick George had 13 points and Garrett McCarty 10 for third-seeded Charleston Catholic (24-4).

Charleston Catholic had reached the championship game for a record ninth time, including eight trips in the past nine years. Charleston Catholic won Class A titles in 2000, 2006, 2007, 1012.

Thomas Baisden had 12 rebounds for Tug Valley, which also adds to the Class AA title it won in 1999. The Panthers outrebounded Charleston Catholic 32-20.

A year ago Tug Valley led Bluefield 15-2 in the first quarter en route to the Class AA crown.

Saturday's game got off to a similar frantic start. Tug Valley led 19-18 after the first quarter.

The Panthers led 32-26 at halftime and 43-31 entering the fourth.
