University School beats Champagnat for Adidas title

University School 6-6 forward Maquedius Bain muscled his way for 24 points and eight rebounds to lead the school?s boys? basketball team past Miami Champagnat 65-38 for the Derrick Rose bracket championship title of the Adidas Holiday Slam at Florida Christian School on Thursday night.

?He put in a tremendous performance and had a great tournament,? Suns coach Andre Tores said of Bain. ?He was a great leader on defense for us.?

The Suns put some distance between themselves and the Lions at the end of the first quarter with an 11-2 run, forcing a number of Champagnat turnovers and capitalizing on fast-break opportunities.

A key to the Suns? early success was neutralizing Lions center Tonye Jekiri, who was held to limited production for most of the opening two quarters before scoring the final six points of the half.

Still, the Lions found themselves trailing 27-16 at halftime.

Jekiri picked up his second technical foul with five minutes remaining in the game to dampen any hopes of a Champagnat comeback.

Jekiri finished with a team-high 14 points and eight rebounds.

From there, the Suns cruised, with the Lions failing to register a point in the first four and a half minutes of the fourth quarter.
