Sims was down 20-15 at halftime to undefeated Dawkins, but in the second half nothing went their way.

“This year was great. I know we did not win the championship like we wanted, but these guys fought and played hard from day one. For the first time in five years basketball was fun for me again. I learned just as much from these guys as they learned from me.

“I would like to thank all the fans that supported us the entire year and hopefully the 8th-graders on the team will go on to JV and varsity and have successful careers.
