Ethan Stokes finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks as McGill-Toolen – the 6A, Area 2 champ – defeated Area 1 runner-up and No. 6-ranked Saraland 39-30 to advance to advance to the Class 6A Sweet 16 in Montgomery.

“Our guys have been resilient all year,” McGill-Toolen coach Phillip Murphy said. “They just find a way to win. It isn’t always the prettiest, but they find a way. Hats off to Saraland. They gave us all we wanted. Their coaching staff does an unbelievable job. On to the next one.”
