Our third day of the trip was highlighted by travelling to southern New Jersey and playing Apex Academy. Having produced many Division 1 players the previous year, we came into the game prepared to play a very solid basketball team. We were not mistaken, Apex was big, strong and fast. Fortunately for us, we had now found our legs after 2 days and were ready to meet the challenge.
In what was our best defensive display of the year, we got off to a great start playing with a tremendous amount of energy on both ends of the court.
Taking a 12 point lead into halftime, we came out in the second half with even more energy, something that Apex was not able to counter. Turning the 12 point lead to 25 points in the first 5 minutes of the second half we were able to easily secure the win, 60-89.
