Saturday’s Prep Basketball Rewind: Combine Academy avenges state final loss to Moravian
Last March, Moravian Prep beat Combine Academy in the first Phenom Hoops State championship game.
The final was played at Combine Academy’s home gym and crowned Moravian as the king of the best non-associated teams in North Carolina.
Combine Academy didn’t forget.
In a rematch Saturday in Rock Hill, Combine ran off to an 84-54 win at the Phenom Hoops Tip-Off at the Rock Hill Sports & Events Center.
Robert Dillingham had 15 points to lead Combine (2-0). Michael Dudley had 13 and Kris Robinson 10. Moravian Prep, based in Hickory, got 12 points from Anthony Sellars and Korey Richardson.
