2004 - Warren Central vs. Mason County - State Finals



Finally found one I was looking for: the force of nature that was Chris Lofton. Lofton (Tennessee), Dustin Grutza (Cincinnati Bearcats QB), Jarrod Litzinger (Pikeville), and an 8th grade Darius Miller (Kentucky) and company went into the tournament looking to defend their State Championship from 2003, but were down a starter from the 10th Region Final.

The Royals faced a Warren Central team that had ran through the field like a buzzsaw up until a somewhat close game against Covington Catholic that morning. Tim Riley's Dragons were led by Lonell Dewalt (Kentucky Football), Matt Maresca (Western Kentucky), and Ryan Anderson.

As an added bonus to anyone who followed a team in the year's tournament, the always great tournament recap starts at 11:38.

Go to the 1:18:00 mark in the video (or to the point that there's roughly 4:25 left in the game) to see Darius Miller drill a three that cuts the Dragon's lead that had been as many as seventeen to four; that's followed up by Lonell DeWalt's insane tip dunk at the 2:08 mark.
