Miami Christian Men’s Basketball team won the Class 2A State Championship in a tight game that went down to the buzzer with a three pointer from MCS junior Neftali Alvarez. The team was cheered on by a busload of students and supporters who attended the game at the Lakeland Center. This is the team’s second state championship in three seasons. Kudos to all players, coaches, and parents.
