Live for Harrisburg/Thayer state championship

• Here are some photos of the celebration -
  
• A final from Mizzou Arena - Harrisburg Bulldogs champions of class 2 with a 52-40 win over Thayer.
  
• Looks like the Bulldogs are going to be champs! They lead by 14 with 57 seconds left. I'll be back in a few minutes with pictures from the celebration.
  
• At 2:14 of the 4th, Harrisburg still up by 12. It's 46-34. Both teams with 10 team fouls. Harrisburg's Shanna Proctor in foul trouble with 4 fouls.
  
• Thayer not done yet. Whitney Mills swishes down a 3 to cut the deficit to 12 - now 44-32 at 4:09 of the 4th.
  
• Approaching halfway point of the 4th quarter - Harrisburg cruising. They lead 44-29 with 4:45 to go.
  
• Harrisburg less than 8 minutes from a state championship - they lead 40-24 early 4th quarter. Ashley Fisher dominant so far with 14 points for the Bulldogs.
  
• Shanna Proctor steals the ball top of the key and drives downcourt for the layup...Harrisburg increases their lead to 34-18 midway through the 3rd q.
  
• Pep band playing Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" here at the half...
  
• Ashley Fisher nails a 3 at the buzzer to end the 1st half! Bulldogs lead 27-16 at the break. She now has 10 points.
  
• Harrisburg quickly answers with a jumper from Ashley Fisher. She now has 7 pts.
  
• Thayer cuts the lead to 21-14 thanks to a left-wing jumper from Samantha Oakes at 2:00 of the 2nd q.
  

• Great crowd on hand for today's games. Most of the lower chairback seating is full with fans clad in blue (Bernie or Sturgeon), green (Thayer), or red (Harrisburg). --- Here's what I mean:

• Midway through the 2nd quarter, Harrisburg leads 17-8. Shanna Proctor also has 5 points now for the Bulldogs. Thayer struggling with Harrisburg's size and athleticism right now.
• Make that 10 total team fouls combined. Each team with 5 at :37 of the 1st q.
• Very physical so far - both teams combined for 9 team fouls. Harrisburg has 5 as Paige Heibel picked up 2 fouls already.
• OK, I'm live here at Mizzou Arena for the Harrisburg girls state championship game. It's for all the marbles...the big trophy...the legends...huge!
• Harrisburg is off to a great start, it's 11-4 Bulldogs with 1:30 left in the 1st q. Chelsea Proctor has 5 points already.
