While Friday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman John Paul Mack. On Friday he made a splash, dropping a double-double on 17 points and 11 rebounds. It looks like he has Thales Academy Apex's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too.
Mack and St. Thomas More Academy will head out on the road to square off against Neuse Christian Academy at 6:45 p.m. on Monday. St. Thomas More Academy has not beaten Neuse Christian Academy recently, having gone 0-8 since January of 2020.
