HOT SPRINGS -- Mills may have lost the 5A-Central Conference championship to Little Rock Parkview, but the Comets are bringing the Class 5A boys basketball state championship to East Dixon Road in Little Rock.
Behind senior forward Darious Hall's 24 points and 13 rebounds, Mills earned a 65-61 victory over Little Rock Parkview in front of 5,965 at Bank of the Ozarks Arena.
It was the second state championship for Mills (31-2). The Comets' first title came in 2004 when they were in Class AAAA.
"Hard work and dedication," said Hall, a University of Arkansas, Fayetteville signee.
