DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Nolan Chapman scored 17 points and Treynor rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half to beat Iowa City Regina 51-46 Friday night and win the Class 2A state championship.

Treynor (24-3) got back in it by trapping Regina’s guards to force turnovers. It took the lead for good at 46-44 when Matt Deitchler went up in a crowd to score on a putback with 2:24 left. The Cardinals then made 5 of 6 free throws to wrap it up and claim their first championship in their 14th trip to state.

Jacob Flathers added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Treynor. Trey Robinson scored 13 points. Deitchler finished with five.

Drew Cook led Regina (22-5) with 23 points, including 5-for-6 3-point shooting. But it wasn’t quite enough to give the Regals their sixth championship.
