The Norcross boys completed the Blue Devils' sweep of Class 7A on Saturday night with a wire-to-wire win over Berkmar.

The Blue Devils had lost three games to the Patriots this season, but they won the one that mattered in convincing fashion — 58-45 behind a 27-point, eight-rebound game from junior London Johnson.

Norcross' first state championship since 2013 followed the girls' title game win over Harrison earlier Saturday in Macon.

Jerry Deng had 14 points, 12 rebounds and two blocked shots, while Samarion Bond added 13 points and five rebounds.

Berkmar had to settle for being state runner-up for the second straight season after losing to Milton in the championship game last year.
