CHARLESTON — The Wheeling Central Maroon Knights are bringing home lucky number 13.

Wheeling Central, the top seed in the WVSSAC Class A playoffs, finished off their playoff run in dominant fashion, topping No. 3 Clay-Battelle, 56-34, on Laidley Field in a Friday night title bout.

“I just feel so good for these kids because they earned it,” Wheeling Central head coach Mike Young said. “They deserved it. They worked hard. They overcame a lot of adversity, a lot of injuries, but when they were young, they got their rear ends beat. But this time around they battled back. We started off on a rough game tonight, but, you know, just so proud of them and their resilience and perseverance to go ahead and win.”
