The memories for Warner Robins will be strong for awhile. Here are a few dozen more to keep it going The Day After The Shot and The Championship
From media to coaches in and out of Warner Robins' city, county, and region, to Demon football players to the Georgia football team, to Eagles and former Eagles, to a Demon-turned-Seminole, to, yeah, a SportsCenter top 10, to the man who made The Shot to sharing Championship Day with the Houston County Sharks to remembering Chip to, well, a bunch of social medianess on the Demons' 67-64 win over elite Miller Grove on Thursday ...
Get comfy. It was a busy night and morning.
Better late than never: @WRDemonBB and @MillerGroveHoop owe each other. And payback comes in the Class 5A title game. In This Week's Coverage at https://t.co/jizrXobmfC

Class 5A Boys Championship @WRDemonBB has the best two players on the court in Nelson Phillips and @lill_kyriee. They’ve been the best 1-2 punch in the state all year.
— Kyle Sandy (@KyleSandy355) March 9, 2018
BUT there’s no guarantee they win it all. @MillerGroveHoop only has I he better for 1 game. pic.twitter.com/jeZWVkd8wp
First time down the floor and Miller Grove/Warner Robins living around the rim. I have a feeling this will be a high-flying affair. 0-0 7:20 in 1Q. tip right at 8 p.m. 100 percent on schedule each of 9 games in Macon. That's the real champ....

Miller Grove up 7 points quickly. First dunk already on a fast break (Lorenzo Anderson). Local favorite Warner... https://t.co/M2KjOUxjLM

Surprisingly mediocre crowd for @WRHS_Basketball and @MillerGroveHoop . The visitors may be equal to the "home" team. Pix just before national anthem. No home crowd advantage for the Demons. pic.twitter.com/ysuUsKXkTT

Put-back dunk for Nelson Phillips, but Jaylen Stuckey answers with an And1 (misses FT)
Nelson Phillips struggling, but slam putback again awakens @WRDemonBB . Just now, tho, lane violation. Demons 9-18 FTs
— Michael A. Lough (@MLoughMacon) March 9, 2018
We are trading punches here for the AAAAA state title game. Miller Grove up 31-29 over Warner Robins. What a half. Back and forth. Sp fast. High energy. Dudes are hoopin'!

Jacolbey Owens is 3-7 FT. @WRDemonBB is 9-18 as a team at the half. That’s not gonna cut it.
— Kyle Sandy (@KyleSandy355) March 9, 2018
But the Demons are out-rebounding the bigger Wolverines 25-18 and have 12 offensive rebounds.
First lead for @WRDemonBB of the night. Teams are grinding.
— Michael A. Lough (@MLoughMacon) March 9, 2018
This has not been Nelson Phillips’ finest game. He misses a dunk. Reminds me of his performance at @LCC_tourney vs. Hillgrove.
— Kyle Sandy (@KyleSandy355) March 9, 2018
Nonetheless, @WRDemonBB has taken their largest lead of the game with 5:22 left in 3Q.
Demons up 35-33 on a @lill_kyriee layup.
Nelson Phillips just one-hand-tomahawk-follow-slammed it and wwwwwoww.

Flurry? A storm of @WRDemonBB ball, and the Demons are up 49-39, time Grove, 1:01/3. Demons just went wild in about a 30-second span, @lill_kyriee Jacolbey Owens w/4 - and a slam - and Jaron Zanders.

WE DID IT‼️‼️‼️FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY‼️💍 67-64‼️
To catch up a sec, @lill_kyriee Jacolbey Owens put up an off-balance, in-traffic 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left, ending an ugly possession, and @WRDemonBB didn't let @MillerGroveHoop get off a shot. Frenetic, to say the least. Warner Robins 67-64.
