LOCATION: Fork Union, VA | Thomas Gym
SCORE: PG Basketball 82, Virginia Union 68
RECORD: 12-3 Overall
SHORT STORY:
Fork Union Military Academy's Postgraduate basketball team secured an impressive 82-68 victory over Virginia Union on Monday evening at the Thomas Gymnasium.
QUOTE: "I'm very happy with our team's performance tonight," said head coach
Bob Williams. "Our defense continues to improve, and we saw a much better effort on the boards. Before the game, we challenged the guys to focus on rebounding, which has been an area of weakness, and they responded well."
"We got contributions from everyone," Williams added. "The team looked sharp. Our passing was crisp, and we took care of the ball. This was the best we have played in a month, and it felt like we shook off the rust from Thanksgiving Break. Now, we shift our focus to the IMG Academy event in Florida this weekend."
HOW IT HAPPENED:
- Jordan Clayton continues to impress with a team-high 15 points and six assists.
- Jacob King followed with 11 points, including three three-pointers, and grabbed five rebounds.
- Nile Ebi contributed 10 points, including two dunks, and five rebounds.
- Zeke Birchett rounded out the effort with four points, seven assists, and six rebounds.
