Phenom Hoops continues to look around the state, checking in on teams and games to find more talent. Monday, we checked in at Wake Forest high school as they welcomed in Green Hope. Both teams were going back and forth early in the first, with Wake Forest taking the narrow lead 14-13. But their offense started to get going, as Wake Forest attacked more and allowed their defense to make plays, as well as a few outside shots. Green Hope did what they could, pushing in transition and looking to score but they were outscored 23-12, as Wake Forest held a 37-25 halftime lead.
Second half was much like the second quarter, as Wake Forest looked to push the pace. Shots continued to fall, as Wake Forest got out in transition well and shots from outside fell. They were able to maintain their lead until the final buzzer, with Wake Forest winning 90-59.
