Millennium beat Flowing Wells, 46-28, on Tuesday night to win its fourth 5A girls basketball state championship in as many years.
Kevin Thomas has only been at Goodyear Millennium for two years, but the Tigers head coach already has developed a tradition. Each March, he takes his championship ring, puts it in a ring box and hangs a piece of the state championship net on the side.
“I'm an emotional person, but I don't express them well,” Thomas said. “I'm a little bit numb at the moment and a little overwhelmed but thrilled to be a part of it.” Flowing Wells scored the night’s first five points, before Millennium responded with a 10-0 run to close the first quarter. In that run, the Tigers established the tone for the night, forcing Flowing Wells into tough contested shots.
Still, Millennium entered halftime up just 10 points. In last week’s semifinal against Peoria Sunrise Mountain, the Tigers gave up a 24-4 run out of halftime. To Thomas, it was the culmination of a worrying trend that had developed over the past month.“We're known to be a team where we let teams come back,” Crisp said. “And , we need to embrace the fact that it's 0-0 at halftime. Same score. We gotta go out with the same vengeance that we did the first quarter.
