The Ascenders are 7-1 this season following a three-win week, which included a quality 80-71 victory over No. 21 Oak Hill Academy. IMG was led by 5-star Arkansas signee Darius Acuff (ESPN 100 No. 7), who had 27 points and 8 assists. Syracuse signee Sadiq White (ESPN 100 No. 16) added an efficient 19-point performance on 9-of-10 shooting from the field.
No. 4 Brewster Academy is another team to watch as they currently sit at 9-1 overall. They defeated previous No. 1 ranked Montverde Academy last week 59-47 behind a 20-point, 9-rebound performance from James Madison signee James Fowler.
