Rapoport Ravens reign supreme atop 2A mountaintop
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (FOX 44) — The Rapoport Ravens capped off a historic season with the ultimate accomplishment, holding off Hearne 53-49 to secure the Rapoport's first state championship in the 2A DI UIL State Championship Thursday night. Two gritty teams began the game, as expected, by trading buckets in the first quarter with Dereion Mitchell beating the first quarter buzzer to give the Eagles a 12-10 lead after one. The Ravens came out in the second quarter on fire, using a 10-0 run to take a 20-12 lead. However, Hearne punched right back with an 10-3 run to close the gap. The Ravens widened the lead back to five heading into the halftime break thanks to 11 first-half points from Jordan Bradley and Ve'Shawn Long. The second half saw more of the same, with Hearne taking the lead but Rapoport battling back to take a four-point lead into the final frame. Rapoport quickly widened the lead once again, going up double figures with 5:01 left to go. Hearne wouldn't go away though as the Eagles went on a furious comeback, cutting the deficit to two with 20 seconds remaining off of back-to-back buckets by Dereion Mitchell. Hearne fouled Jordan Sewell with five seconds remaining and Sewell iced the game to secure the first state championship in school history for the Ravens. The Ravens ends the season as 2A DI State Champions with a 37-3 record. Hearne finishes as 2A State Runner-Up for the first time in school history, capping the season with a 29-6 record.
