Woodward Academy got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jarvis Hayes Jr. out in front who went 9-for-16 en route to 26 points in addition to five boards and four steals. The contest was Hayes Jr.'s third in a row with at least 15 points. Myles Hayes was another key player, shooting 50% from the field on his way to 15 points along with seven rebounds and five steals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lakeside). They breezed past Stone Mountain to the tune of 80-48 on Tuesday. The win continues a trend for the Vikings in their matchups with the Pirates: they've now won four in a row.
Woodward Academy strolled past Lakeside in their previous meeting back in January by a score of 66-47. Do the War Eagles have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Vikings turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
