After losing on day one of Holiday Hoopsgiving, Southern California Academy took on Carmel Christian (NC) on day two, and responded very well.
Defensively, their size and athleticism had a huge impact as they used a pressure, trapping style to force turnovers which made it hard on the Carmel guards.
Texas commit AJ Johnson's shot making was a difference maker as he hit multiple shots from three. He and Arizona State commit Braelon Green hit two big threes down the stretch to help SoCal stretch the lead and take the win 53-43.
