No. 4 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) held top-ranked senior Chet Holmgren to 13 points in a convincing 73-53 road win Saturday over No. 7 Minnehaha Academy (Minneapolis, Minn.) in a battle of Top 10 high school basketball powers.

Holmgren sank the opening bucket for a 2-0 lead, but that's the only lead the Red Hawks would have as the Ascenders responded with a 9-0 run and never looked back.

A 12-0 run late in the first half brought Minnehaha within seven, 42-35, at the half, but IMG Academy (19-2) stretched its lead to double digits in the second half before pulling away with the 20-point victory.

Junior guard Jaden Bradley finished with 21 points and four steals, pacing a balanced Ascenders' attack that saw four starters in double figures.

Holmgren meanwhile struggled to get things going offensively in Minnehaha's first loss of the season, finishing short of his 17.6 points per night average.
