While Wood largely struggled offensively, MacAdams did his part with an efficient 15 points despite the loss. He was key toward the Vikings’ early spurt, coming out aggressive and scoring nine points in the opening quarter and change while Wood established a double-digit lead. The Marist commit was effective spacing the floor from the perimeter as a shooter off the catch and also put strong pressure on the rim as a slasher driving past closeouts. His well-rounded scoring ability project well toward making an impact in Poughkeepsie before too long.

One of the top returning scorers in the league, Macadams got his senior PCL campaign off to a solid start with a 15-point effort to help key the road win.

Macadams knocked down a trio of shots from beyond the arc with steely confidence that’s become common for him, before getting the fans out of their seats with an explosive alley-oop finish in transition.

There may not have been a bigger stock-riser in the entirety of the Philly Catholic League this winter than MacAdams, who rose from a low-usage complementary player into the league’s third-leading scorer in just a year’s time. Still feeling a bit shortchanged on the recruiting front, having just recently received his first D1 offer, he’ll open up even more eyes on the biggest stage as he takes his talents to the EYBL circuit. A pure bucket-getter from all three levels, MacAdams plays with a chip on his shoulder befitting of an under-recruited prospect and a competitive fire that can’t help but rub off on his teammates.
