In Saturday night's NCISAA 3A State championship game between Greensboro Day School and Concord Academy, Cooper Flagg's brother, Ace, looked to do something that not many high school basketball players have ever done: Win three titles in three different states.

Flagg capped the feat when he chipped in 11 points and helping the Bengals upend Concord Academy, 46-39.

What made the night more incredible was the fact the Flagg notched the feat of winning three championships in three different states.

Flagg, a 6-foot-7 forward, won a state title with his brother his freshman season in Maine when Nokomis defeated Falmouth, 43-27, for the Class A state championship.

In 2024 while playing for Montverde Academy in Florida, Flagg was a contributor on the Eagles' national title winning team when they defeated Paul VI (Virginia), 79-63, last season for the Chipolte national championship.

Flagg has already signed collegiately to play for his home state Maine Black Bears once he's done at Greensboro Day School this spring.
