A three-pointer from the left corner from Ohio Signee
CeZanne Mosley gave Oak Ridge a 44-41 advantage with seven minutes remaining in the third quarter before the Eagles began to impose their will.
Following the basket from the Pioneers, Montverde Academy went on a 10-2 run and held Oak Ridge scoreless from the field over the next three plus minutes of game-action before a layup from four-star Providence signee
Jamier Jones.
Four-star Villanova signee Allen started the run with a 3-pointer from top of key before connecting on a deep three-pointer on the next possession. Five-star junior
Kayden Allen then grabbed a rebound off his teammates' miss and finished a layup and Ingram converted a tough left-handed layup to spark the Eagles run.
Following the layup from Oak Ridge, the Eagles continued their strong third quarter by finishing the period on a 11-5 spurt to take a 62-51 advantage into the fourth quarter.
Although both teams began trading baskets again in the fourth quarter, Oak Ridge was unable to sustain enough stops to slow down the perennial powerhouse.
Oak Ridge (7-2) never fell behind by more than 13 points in the fourth quarter, but they were unable to cut the deficit under five points down the stretch as the Eagles continued to respond with big baskets to extend their advantage back to double-digits.
Montverde Academy (8-1) looks to capture their second consecutive City of Palms Classic title on Monday night when they take on the winner between MaxPreps Top 25 No. 1 Columbus (Miami, Fla.) and National Top 10 No. 1 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.).
