"If there were any doubt about this being the year of the freshman in high school basketball, all you needed to do was look at who was on the court Saturday in a sold-out rivalry game between Village Christian and visiting Heritage Christian. 'There were five freshmen out there,' Heritage Christian freshman guard Ty Lazenby said. Make no mistake about how much young talent Heritage Christian has after a 74-71 victory that ended the Crusaders' 11-game winning streak."
"Eli Simmons had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and fellow sophomore Houston Rolle scored 16 points. Lazenby had 15 points. Another freshman, Nalu Clark, the brother of Virginia NCAA champion guard Kihei Clark, had seven points and seven assists. It was left to sophomore Tyler Jackson to put the finishing touch on the win, banking in a free throw with 11.9 seconds left for a three-point cushion that forced Village Christian's outstanding freshman, Will Conroy Jr., to shoot a three to tie. It didn't go."
