The team pulled off a monumental upset on Monday by toppling the undefeated HVAC regular season champion, Brentwood Academy. The final score recorded in the books was 36-33 which advances us to the HVAC tournament championship held here on Wednesday night at 7:30. MBA will face the winner of DCA and BGA. The win was a huge turnaround after losing to BA earlier this season by a wide margin of 63-49. Conry Miler scored 19 points and hitting 8 of 10 from the free throw line. Jack Beckner had 7 points and Jaime Katseff filled in for the injured Alex Kohls hitting a big 3 and doing a great job running the point guard position without much game experience this season. Warren Lipscomb also hit a big 3 and scored 5 points. Jaime Bradshaw and Conry Miler held BA’s center (who had scored 24 points on us in January), to 7 just points in the 1st half and 0 in the second. The win is a " tribute to a group of guys who have worked very hard and have been very coachable and unselfish this entire season"according to head coach Gary Waller.
