Basketball Recap: Memphis Business Academy Extends Winning Streak to Three

Memphis Business Academy had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 47 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They took down the Trezevant Bears 82-63. Given the Execs' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 102nd, while the Bears are ranked 334th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Memphis Business Academy's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Larry Benson, who went 8 for 12 on his way to 23 points along with eight assists and four steals. Benson's afternoon made it eight games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Ethan Caswell, who went 8 of 12 en route to 20 points and six rebounds.

Benson wasn't the only one working in the assists department: Memphis Business Academy was working as a unit and finished the game with 15 assists. That's the most assists they've posted since back in February of 2024.

Memphis Business Academy's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 12-6. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 81.5 points per game. As for Trezevant, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-14.

Memphis Business Academy has already played their next matchup (against Crosstown), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Trezevant will square off against Memphis Rise Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Trezevant knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Memphis Rise Academy likes a good challenge.
