Two games were in the book and basketball fans were in for a HUGE treat between two of the top teams in the state in 1 of 1 Prep and Combine Academy. Two coaches that are familiar with each other matched up in a heated battle and it started off exactly how we thought. 1of1 Prep came out strong and quickly showed their youth came to play, but they also had a few veterans step up. But players like Collin Tanner, Silas Demary Jr., and Trentyn Flowers created a nice trio for Combine in the first half. Neither team was able to make an early run and this game quickly turned into a dogfight with a ton of energy.
Back and forth these teams went, trading blows. 1of1 Prep was able to hold the narrow one-point lead after the first quarter 17-16, and it continued to be that way throughout the second half. It was right before halftime when Flowers hit a huge hot at the buzzer to give Combine a 32-28 halftime lead, as things were getting chippy between these two teams.
In the third quarter, it was Combine that came out strong on both ends, creating havoc defensively and also finding ways to score effectively. Combine
