The Martinsburg High football team made West Virginia high school sports history Saturday by beating Huntington High 9-7 to win the state AAA championship in Wheeling, W.Va.
It’s the first time in West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission history an AAA ranked school has won four state football championships in a row.
Martinsburg (13-1) was ranked number two during the season and Huntington (13-1) was ranked number one.
“Anytime you have number one versus number two it should be a tight ballgame and it was today,” Martinsburg Coach Davis Walker said.
“It was just a knock-down, drag-out brawl,” he said. “And fortunately our kids played enough to come out on top.”
Hundreds of supporters gathered at Martinsburg High School about 7:30 p.m. Saturday to welcome the team home. Player Troy Walker scored the only Martinsburg touch down.
“I’m just glad we won,” Walker said. “We made history, something not too many people get to do.”
“The game was kind of nerve wracking, but it was great,” Martinsburg Principal Trent Sherman said. “Our kids really played hard and their kids really played hard and we got the win, which was important.”
Sherman credited the Martinsburg football program’s success to the coaching staff.
