6:30 pm – Combine Academy vs. The Burlington School
Next up, two powerhouse teams went to battle and it was looking to be an absolute thriller of a show with premier talent. Both teams came out strong early on, with TBS holding the narrow edge after the first quarter. That back-and-forth feel would only continue, with Combine Academy edging out TBS at half 36-35, with 2025 Josiah Parker leading the charge for Combine and 2027 King Gibson looking sharp as well. This game would just continue the trend that happened in the first half, with both teams trading blows and it relatively staying a basket or two type game. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter when the guard play stepped up for Combine to create just a bit of an edge, but TBS wouldn’t go away as they battled until the end. 2025 Kaden Hammond hit a late three with two seconds to go to make it a 75-72 game, but there wasn’t enough time in the end with Combine securing a hard-fought win.
