THE HIGH PERFORMANCE ACADEMY TOOK ON INFORMATION INVESTORS IN THE HOWARD PULLEY PRO CITY SUMMER LEAGUE GAME

High Performance Academy took on Information Investors in a basketball game in the Howard Pulley Pro City Summer League.

The game got off to a quick start as each team raced up and down the court shooting as many shots as they could from anywhere on the court.

High Performance Academy looked to get the ball into the hands of Tyus Robert Jones. Jones was all over the floor. He could shoot the ball from anywhere he wanted. He also was able to bring the ball down the floor and get his guys set up in the offense.

The pace of the game slowed down in the first quarter. The teams realized that it was better to use the clock to their advantage.

At the end of the first quarter the score was Information Investors 33 and High Performance Academy 30.

As the second quarter got underway both teams really did a good job attacking the basket and taking time on the offensive end.

Darren Glover for Information Investors Group looked to blow by the guys that were trying to guard him. He was successful at doing that a few times as he found different ways to get to the basket.

Jones was all over the floor. He took the ball hard to the basket and powered it up to the rim. Jones was determined to get the basket every time he got the ball.

Al Richter for Information Investors was on fire. He was hitting shots from everywhere on the floor.

At halftime the score was High Performance Academy 65 and Information Investors 61.

As the third quarter got underway the score went back and forth. Each team made it difficult for the other team to score baskets.

Jones did a good job of controlling traffic on the court. He knew where his men were supposed to be on the floor and he instructed them on where they were supposed to go in each offensive set.

Dion Bradley for High Performance was all over the floor. He blew by his defenders on offense and then he played tough lock down defense. There was no quit in that kid.

The third quarter was close as neither team was able to go on a run.

The score was tied at 91 after three quarters of play.

As the fourth quarter got underway both teams chewed a lot of time off of the clock. They passed the ball around the three-point line to take time off the clock.

High Performance continued to look to get the ball into the hands of Jones. Jones was still hungry for the ball as he continued to call for the ball late in the contest.

As the game came down the wire Information Investors came away with the 133-125 victory over High Performance Academy.

The leading scorers for Information Investors Group were Al Richter with 49 points, Jonah Travis with 32 points and Evan Battle with 22 points. 

Tyus Robert Jones ended up scoring 30 points.
