West Point's bid to reach the state Final Four for the first time since 1987 came to an end on Monday as the Class 5A No. 4 Warriors fell to No. 2 Guntersville in the Northwest Regional tournament. The Warriors struggled offensively throughout the game, recording their lowest scoring output of the season.
Why it matters
West Point was seeking its first Final Four appearance in nearly 40 years, which would have been a major milestone for the program. The loss ends their season just short of that goal, though the Warriors still had a successful campaign as one of the top-ranked teams in Class 5A.
The details
West Point could not find its shooting touch, making fewer baskets than in any other game this season. Guntersville, one of the top-ranked teams in the state, was able to capitalize on the Warriors' offensive struggles and pull away for the victory.
- The Northwest Regional tournament game took place on Monday, February 23, 2026.
