NC GBB Academy National had won four straight games and Amayah Barnes did her part to make it five on Monday. The Eagles came within four points of losing the streak, but they secured a 42-38 W against Tournament Opponent thanks in part to Barnes, who shot 50% from the field on her way to 22 points in addition to eight boards and four steals. The game was her third in a row with at least 19 points.

The team also got some help courtesy of McKenzie Smith, who went 5-for-8 en route to 10 points along with eight rebounds and three blocks. She has also also been stellar as far as shooting accuracy is concerned: she's posted one of at least 63% every time she's hit the court this season.

NC GBB Academy National's win bumped their record up to 5-0.

Looking ahead, NC GBB Academy National is taking a road trip to challenge Cannon at 5:30 p.m. on December 2. Tournament Opponent has already played their next contest (against Gaither), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
