22ft ACADEMY NEWS

22ft Academy handed a shocked top-ranked Oak Hill team a 70 - 67 defeat on Saturday, November 14.  Justin Miller had 13 points and was the most dominant big man on the court. Miller was also named MVP while Eli Wright led the scoring attack with 20 points. "I can't even tell you how great this feels," Miller said. "I just felt like Jesus was with us on this one. We played our hearts out; we never quit." "This is a big win, for sure, but, at the end of the day, it simply shows our guys that if we come to play we can beat anybody," commented 22ft coach Matt Schmidt.
