The UME Preparatory Academy EAGLES will head out on the road to face off against the Burton Adventist Academy Angels at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. UME Preparatory Academy knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matches -- so hopefully Burton Adventist Academy likes a good challenge.
UME Preparatory Academy fought the good fight in their overtime match against North Hills Prep on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell to the 77-72. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
UME Preparatory Academy's loss came about despite a quality game from Noah Chapman, who scored 24 points along with 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Chapman is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now stole two or more in the last three games he's played. Will Lupton was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with 8 rebounds and 4 steals.
Meanwhile, Burton Adventist Academy's recent rough patch got a bit rougher two weeks ago after their third straight loss. They took a serious blow against Nazarene Christian Academy, falling 68-21. Burton Adventist Academy was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 47-12.
Their wins bumped UME Preparatory Academy to 7-4 and North Hills Prep to 5-3.
UME Preparatory Academy came up short against Burton Adventist Academy in their previous meeting back in January, falling 58-51. Thankfully for UME Preparatory Academy, Aiden Castillo (who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 10 steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
