On Thursday, Phenom Hoops traveled to the historical American Hebrew Academy to see the hometown Eagles host Trinity Academy from Raleigh, North Carolina. The visiting Trinity Academy Tigers have been phenomenal all season long, standing at 18-9 and playing behind the talents of nationally-regarded Isaiah Todd. Meanwhile, the Hebrew Academy entered this contest with a quality 8-5 record and have done an excellent job of continually improving their program throughout the last few years (especially after winning just once last season). So we were quite excited to see how the Hebrew Academy prepared for their senior night against Trinity Academy.
This game started off in a very sluggish manner, as the Tigers established their lead and held the Hebrew Academy scoreless through most of the first quarter. However, things began to pick up and the Eagles were able to generate a decent offensive flow for the remainder of the half, but still trailed 26-21 at the break. Trinity Academy really amped up the pace in the third quarter and started to gain some separation on the scoreboard. The Hebrew Academy fought extremely hard and their effort never wavered, but they ultimately fell to Trinity Academy by a score of 61-43.
