Stunning Finish to Sectional Championship (Bridgeport v. Robert C. Byrd)

Absolutely gutted for the kids from Robert C. Byrd, but have to give Bridgeport a ton of credit for never giving up. Just a truly amazing finish to this game.

As broadcast on the NFHS Network, Feel free to share this post. Next up: we'll broadcast the regional championship games: girls RCB @ Grafton and boys Bridgeport @ Grafton next Thursday.
