In one of the best wins Tuesday, Boyd Buchanan overtook a talented Tyner Academy team, 52-51. Jacob Shockley put up 15 points with 5 rebounds.

Alijah was once the #1 player in 2024. He might be ready to return just yet, but his contributions in this high octane event were a perfect display of his high end talent and ceiling. Curry got off the ground so quickly. He was pressuring passing lanes and also pulled down rebounds with those quick leaps.

Agbo Ogbonna (2022) once again racked up a near-double-double. He is a completely unknown gem out of Knoxville Christian.
