WORCESTER — Sabis International senior guard Andre King didn’t know how well he’d perform in yesterday’s Div. 2 state final against Falmouth.

He’d been sick with a stomach bug during the week, and wasn’t sure how it would affect him when he stepped onto the court.

But when the game started, he went on to have the performance of his career.

King scored 30 points in the first half, and 37 overall, during Sabis’ 83-52 victory over Falmouth at the DCU Center.

“This feels real good,” King said. “This was our first year in Div. 2. We set the bar. We were doubted the whole season, saying we couldn’t compete with the rest of the [Div. 2] teams. But we proved everybody wrong.”

The Bulldogs (23-2) won their second state title in five years, after claiming the Div. 3 championship in 2006. They moved up the Div. 2 before this season after the MIAA realigned.

Sabis controlled the game from start to finish. They scored on their first four possessions, jumping out to a 9-2 lead after a dunk by sophomore guard Kamali Bey (19 points).

The Bulldogs were relentless on both ends of the floor, forcing three straight Falmouth turnovers as they built their lead. They jumped out to a 29-7 lead after the first quarter, paced by King’s 15 points.

WORCESTER — We're chatting live from the DCU Center in Worcester with Falmouth taking on Sabis in the Division 2 boys state championship.
