This was a banner season for area code 804 high school basketball.

In addition to John Marshall High School winning the state Class 2 title, Henrico County’s Highland Springs High School claimed the Class 5 crown and Varina High School was the Class 4 champion.

Also, Petersburg High School was state runner-up in Class 3.

All the action was last weekend at the Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Varina finished 25-1 under Coach Ken Randolph with a 61-35 victory over Loudoun County High School in the grand finale.

VCU-commit Alphonzo Billups led the Varina Blue Devils with 18 points, including several emphatic dunks.

Varina won the Class 5 title in 2018.

The Blue Devils’ only loss this season came to Eastern Henrico rival Highland Spring High on Feb. 11.

The Highland Springs High Springers, finishing 23-4, won the Class 5 title with a 63-62 win over Maury High School of Norfolk. A free throw by High Springs’ Khristian Martin with 8 seconds left was the difference.

Dorian Davis led the Springers with 30 points and sophomore Danzelle Coles added 20 for Coach Reggie Tennyson’s squad. Quanye Veney was outstanding as a ball handler and defensive stopper.

Petersburg High, looking for its first state title since the Moses Malone era, lost to Cave Spring High School of Roanoke 76-75 in the Class 3 final.

Petersburg won back-to-back titles with Malone in 1973 and 1974. Petersburg was a state finalist in 1985, 1989 and 2010.

Chris Fields, a 6-foot-5 junior, scored 25 points to pace the Petersburg Crimson Wave that finished 22-4 under Coach Ryan Massenberg.
