Hargrave Military Academy 86, Coastal Academy 66

On the opening night of the Massanutten Military Showcase, the Tigers took on Coastal Academy.

Hargrave had a number of notable performances on the night including a monster 23-point, 13 assist, 6 rebound night from captain Braxton Beverly. Beverly was not the only Tiger to record a double-double on the night though, with Clayton Hughes (21 points, 10 rebounds) and Antwan Walker (15 points, 14 rebounds) also had huge games. Sarju Patel was the only other player to reach double-digits for Hargrave, contributing an efficient 15 points with the aid of three 3-pointers.

Hargrave jumped out to a big lead early against Believe Prep Academy, and despite a late comeback and a bevy of foul trouble, the Tigers were able to hold on with a smooth 12 point victory. Naji Marshall was a man on a mission in the Tigers’ final game of the event, logging another double-double with 30 points and 12 rebounds. Braxton Beverly continued his strong play by pouring in 22 points on just 9 shots and added 7 assists as well. Clayton Hughes (15 points, 7 rebounds) and Justin Brown (10 points, 6 rebounds) also scored in double digits. Josh Livingston scored all of his 10 points in the second half, including a dagger three-pointer from the corner that truly put the game out of reach late. Jordan McKenzie snatched a team-high 6 steals to go along with his 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a terrific all-around performance. 

The Tigers now stand at 34-1 on the season, and are riding a 20 game win streak. They will be back in action Wednesday, February 15th against RockTop Academy. The tip-off is scheduled for 3:30.
