Boys State Tournament: Tucker County uses late steal and bucket to return to Class A title game

Charleston – Trevan Bonner’s steal and layup with 51 seconds left broke a 36-36 tie, helping propel Tucker County to its third consecutive Class A title appearance with a 42-36 win over East Hardy Friday night in the Class A semis at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.

Bonner led Tucker with 16 points and three steals while Ethan Cummings netted 14 off the bench.

Evan Hamilton and Jordan Teets led East Hardy with 12 points each in the loss.
