North Broward Prep hit the Eagles early and took a small advantage into halftime (27-23). Calvary Christian Academy used a 18-10 third quarter to open up the final quarter cushion. I thought turnovers hurt North Broward Prep and led to transitional baskets for players like Carl Cherenfant Carl Cherenfant 6'4" | CG Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2023 State #68 Nation FL and Marvel Allen Marvel Allen 6'4" | SG Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2023 State #46 Nation FL . In addition, put back slams from Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks 6'9" | PF Calvary Christian (FL) | 2022 State #124 Nation FL and Brenen Lorient Brenen Lorient 6'8" | PF Calvary Christian | 2022 State FL gave Calvary Christian Academy Academy.
