James Whitley Game Report: @ Escondido

James Whitley continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his fifth-straight game with at least three steals. He went 8 of 14 en route to 18 points along with seven boards and five assists. He was up against Escondido and has quite the history against that squad, as he also had a great game the last time he faced them back in December of 2023. That was a full 40% of Rock Academy's points, marking the fourth time in a row he's posted more than a third of the team's points.

Whitley and Rock Academy won't have much time to rest: their next match is against O'Farrell Charter at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Despite Whitley's best efforts to the contrary, Rock Academy will head into their next match having dropped eight straight contests dating back to last season. Will Friday be the turning point?
