YNG Dreamerz and City Reapers met up in Lincolnton (NC) Tuesday night in what was an impressive showing with two teams that had big-time names. It was the YNG Dreamerz who made QUICK work in the first quarter, as they came out firing from behind the arc to take a 27-12 lead. 2024 Evan Morton and 2024 Don Lewis got the party going, scoring 21 of the team’s 27 points, mostly from behind the arc. That trend didn’t slow down in the second quarter, as 2025 Eli Ellis got going to score 16 points in the first half. YNG Dreamerz were able to hit 13 3-pointers in the first half, giving them an impressive 54-24 lead at halftime. 2025 Bryson Tiller led the way early on for City Reapers with 5 points.
In the second half though, it was the City Reapers that started to be more assertive on both ends of the court. They were physical, used their athleticism and strength to attack, were able to get to the line and create opportunities off fouls, and chip away at the lead. They outscored YNG Dreamerz 30-14 in the third quarter and eventually cut it to single digits in the fourth quarter.
