The Master's Academy took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They claimed a resounding 50-11 win over the Challenger Firebirds. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-7.
Leading The Master's Academy to victory were Avery Bridges and Hannah Yelton. Bridges went 8 for 13 en route to 18 points plus four steals, while Yelton dropped a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds. What's more, Yelton also racked up seven offensive rebounds, the most she's had since back in November of 2023. Sydney Bell was another key player, scoring no points plus seven rebounds and five steals.
The Master's Academy smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 34 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in 19 consecutive games dating back to last season.
Challenger's loss dropped their record down to 0-2.
