The dream season for the Blackman boys is over. Junior Darius Thompson missed a jumper with seconds left that would have give his team the win. Instead, the Blaze lost to Memphis East 57-56. Blackman led in the game by as many as 10, but the Mustangs went on a 13-to-1 run in the third quarter and took a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Quindell Cousin led the Blaze in scoring with 17 points. Terrance Smotherman had 14 and Damien Sales with 12. It Blackman's first trip to the state tournament in school history.
