Virginia Tech-bound small forward Chris Clarke led Cape Henry Collegiate (Virginia Beach, VA) to the 2014/2015 VISAA Division 1 state championship.
Clarke, a 6’6″ senior and 4-star prospect, scored 16 points in Cape Henry’s 75-61 win over St. Christopher’s in the state semifinals last Friday, and on Saturday he poured in 18 points and pulled down 11 boards as Cape Henry pulled out a 54-53 win over Paul VI (Fairfax, VA) in the championship game. Paul VI featured Syracuse-bound senior guard Franklin Howard and junior power forward Corey Manigault, the latter a Virginia Tech target.
This championship is the second in three years for Cape Henry, which is led by head coach Mark Hall. The Dolphins (31-2) may still have some season left to play, as they are reportedly being considered for the 2015 Dick’s National High School Tournament.
