Game Report
The two national names matched up to give everyone a treat in Raleigh. Jahmari Harvey led the way early for Moravian Prep, knocking down multiple three’s to start his night off, while ISA Academy used their inside/ outside game between Barba and Bediako. A lot of attention was put on Josh Hall defensively but he still was able to create and use his length, but overall, these teams went back and forth in the first quarter.
End of First Quarter: ISA Academy 19 – Moravian Prep 15
Harvey kicked off the quarter once again but then Hall and Darrius Davis started to attack and find their offense. Playing with a physical presence, Moravian Prep was able to regain the lead and hold it into halftime. Foul trouble started to pick up for both teams for some key players as well. Bediako has 8 points and Barba had 9, while Harvey led the way with 13 points while Josh Hall had 11 points in the first half
Halftime: Moravian Prep 38 – ISA Academy 31
Teams started to trade baskets for most of the third quarter. Each team had an answer for each other but a late run by Moravian Prep with a minute left helped secure a double-digit lead at the end of the quarter. Hall continued to terror on the floor, finishing all around the rim while Harvey continued to make big shots. Bediako looked to keep it close but Moravian Prep was clicking on all cylinders.
