Ace has proven that he could still win a state championship without his twin brother, Duke freshman star Cooper Flagg. After winning a Class A state championship with Nokomis Regional High School in Maine and another with Montverde Academy in Florida, Ace's high school career has been filled with championship wins.

However, all those wins were with Cooper, which makes this one even more special as he has done something his highly-rated twin brother could not do: win a state championship in three different states.

Ace Flagg and Greensboro Day put on a defensive performance during state final

During Saturday's game against Concord Academy for the NCISAA 3A state championship, the Bengals played stifling defense and did not allow opponents to score that much. This included forcing the Eagles to go scoreless during the first four minutes of the second quarter.

Concord Academy still kept it close though, but the Bengals finally broke away with the fourth through defense.

Addison Newkirk and Ace Flagg shined the most, with the former leading the Bengals with 13 points, eight rebounds and two steals, while the latter had 11 points and four rebounds.
