The John Adams Academy Patriots's game last Thursday was a tough loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 63-60 victory over the Patriots. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
It was another big night for Isaiah McKee, who dropped a double-double on 35 points and 14 rebounds. McKee is absolutely dominating the point category: he's posted at least 15 every time he's taken the court this season. Luciano Allen was another key contributor, scoring 16 points along with six steals.
The Patriots now have a winning record of 8-7. As for the Patriots, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-15.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. John Adams Academy will take on Leroy Greene Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in California (Leroy Greene Academy is ranked 1057th, while John Adams Academy is ranked 1066th). John Adams Academy won't have much time to rest: their next game is against Pine Hills Adventist at 7:30 p.m. on January 17th. Hopefully Pine Hills Adventist focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 30 last Wednesday.
