The varsity boys basketball team won its third state basketball championship in the last five years. Macon East Academy finished the season with a 14-7 record, with a remarkable run through the AA playoffs. The boys rallied together amidst COVID-19 and a coaching change midway through the season to be AISA 2A State Champions! The Knights defeated Escambia 62-55 at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl. Jeremiah Carnegie led Macon East with 16 points, Chase Dumas added 15 points, followed by Maurice Poole with 13 and Tyler Daniels with 12. Making the all-tournament team were Maurice Poole, Jeremiah Carnegie, and Chase Dumas.
The Knights will lose 6 valuable seniors including Carlos Carter, Eric Lawson, Aidan Steyer, Jeremiah Carnegie, Stone Yarnell, and Chase Dumas. Congratulations to Coach Lott and the varsity boys on reaching your goals and being state champs!
