The Paideia Academy Knights will take on Apostolic Christian at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
Paideia Academy is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Temple Baptist Academy back in December of 2024 (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Paideia Academy was beaten by Temple Baptist Academy 85-26. The Knights were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 55-16.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Apostolic Christian's strategy against Apostolic Christian Academy on Monday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Apostolic Christian blew Apostolic Christian Academy out of the water with a 79-48 final score. Apostolic Christian has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 24 points or more this season.
Paideia Academy better focus on containing Brady Wilson and Rogan Bailey as the pair were huge in Apostolic Christian's win. Wilson went 12 of 22 en route to 27 points along with six rebounds and four steals, while Bailey almost dropped a double-double on 22 points and nine boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Blake Wilson, who went 6 of 9 on his way to 15 points along with seven boards and six assists.
Paideia Academy was dealt a bruising 60-31 defeat at the hands of Apostolic Christian in their previous meeting back in February of 2024.
