Basketball Preview: New Life Christian vs. Veritas Christian Academy

Suggested Video

New Life Christian will take on Veritas Christian Academy in a tournament on Friday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

New Life Christian gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener back in February. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Buffalo Seminary 49-19. New Life Christian pushed the score to 43-8 by the end of the third, a deficit Buffalo Seminary cut but never quite recovered from.

Meanwhile, Veritas Christian Academy came tearing into Thursday's game with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 points), and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top against the Eagles by a score of 48-38. The victory was all the more spectacular given Veritas Christian Academy's disadvantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 183rd in New Jersey, while Central Christian Academy is ranked 49th in Connecticut).

New Life Christian better focus on containing Madelyn Seifert and Amya Cuddon as the pair were huge in Veritas Christian Academy's win. Seifert dropped a double-double with 21 points and 16 rebounds, while Cuddon posted 25 points and three steals. That makes it eight consecutive games in which Seifert has scored at least a third of Veritas Christian Academy's points.

Veritas Christian Academy smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in four consecutive contests.
