Phenom Hoops tuned in Tuesday night to watch Burlington Christian Academy and Shining Light Academy battle it out.  Two teams that bring scoring power dueled it out on the court in a fast-paced, up and down battle early on, with Burlington Christian Academy holding the narrow 24-19 lead after the first quarter.

Burlington Christian Academy turned it up a notch on the defensive end, creating steals and turnovers and capitalizing in transition. But Shining Light, led by Will Rhodes, continued to stay within striking distance, as both teams looked to get up and down and play fast paced.  Burlington Christian Academy though led 46-34 at halftime.

Shining Light came out strong to cut the lead early but Burlington Christian answered right back and continued to find success out in transition, eventually increasing their lead to as many as 20 points in the third and never looking back from then on. 

Burlington Christian Academy took home the 83-65 victory and improved to 8-1 on the season.
