Having just played yesterday, the Peachtree Academy Panthers will head out on the road to face off against the HALO Wolfpack at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Peachtree Academy is leaving town to face HALO after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Panthers took a 46-42 hit to the loss column at the hands of Young Americans Christian on Monday. Panthers fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against the Eagles since Monday.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Liam Abraham, who posted 12 points and six rebounds. Julian Baluta was another key player, putting up 11 points and five boards.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask HALO). They managed a 69-65 victory over Promise Prepatory Academy two weeks ago.
Peachtree Academy better keep an eye on Kenneth Haynes. He was instrumental in HALO's win, dropping a double-double with 27 points and 20 rebounds. With that strong performance, Haynes is now averaging an impressive 15.6 points per game. Another player making a difference was Mason Dukes, who shot 45% from the field en route to 14 points along with five boards and three steals.
HALO was working as a unit and finished the game with 17 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Peachtree Academy and HALO were neck-and-neck in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, but Peachtree Academy came up empty-handed after a 54-53 defeat. Thankfully for the Panthers, Trenton Grissom (who went 9-for-21 to rack up 24 points and six rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
