Sparkman makes comeback late in the state final, but Hoover holds on to win

BIRMINGHAM – A fast-scoring start by the Hoover Lady Bucs proved to be too much as Sparkman fell 55-44 on Saturday in the Class 7A State Final at Legacy Arena.

This victory secures a third straight state title for a dominant Hoover program.

The Lady Bucs wasted no time jumping out to a 20-5 advantage after just one quarter of action.

Hoover added to its lead in the second quarter with 15 more points to stay out front 35-15 at the half.

To Sparkman’s credit, the Lady Senators didn’t just give up in this game.

12 points in the third period by Sparkman made the score 44-27 Hoover with just one quarter to play.

The Lady Senators outscored Hoover yet again in the fourth quarter 16-9, but the Lady Bucs in the end did enough in the first half to stave off a Sparkman comeback.
