    Huntington vs South Charleston (2007 Class AAA Boys State Basketball Championship)
    Jul 15 2022
    The 2007 Huntington Highlander team is considered by many the greatest West Virginia high school basketball team. That Highlander team featured future NBA prospects Patrick Patterson and O.J. Mayo.

    Huntington came into the state final, only losing two games all year, but neither loss went to an in-state school. The Highlanders had won every in-state match by an average of 41-points.

    Huntington’s whopping 103-61 victory became the second largest margin of victory in state tournament history. It was capped with Mayo throwing a self-alley oop off the glass and flushing it in. He would chuck the ball into the stands, which, surprisingly, landed in his father’s arms.
