ALCOA – Alcoa’s Jahvin Carter had his normal game Monday night, and his supporting cast came through in big ways at crucial times.
The 6-2 senior guard and Mr. Basketball finalist scored 28 points – about his per-game average – and three other Tornadoes hit double-figure scoring during an 89-53 victory over visiting Chattanooga Tyner in a Class 2A state sectional game.
Alcoa (23-13) begins defense of its 2023 state championship on Thursday, March 14, in the quarterfinals against East Nashville (15-9) in Murfreesboro.

“All my guys step up. They always come through for me, so I come through for them. We’ve got a whole squad. We’ve got depth, and that’s just basically what it is.”
