Raleigh, N.C. — Cam Oates hit a trio of 3-pointers as Trinity Christian defeated Holly Springs 63-44 in the Millbrook Showcase presented by HighSchoolOT on Saturday evening.
Oates wasn't the only player making shots on Saturday. Marcus Boykin, Freddie Dillone, and Xavier Matthews each hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter as Trinity Christian took a 13-3 lead after one quarter.
Kaleb Scott had all three points for the Golden Hawks. Trinity held Holly Springs to just one field goal in the first quarter.
The Hawks found their footing in the second quarter, scoring 14 points — eight of which came from Scott. But the hole was too deep. Trinity Christian got five points from Oates in the second quarter and led 26-17 at halftime.
Trinity Christian began to pull away in the third quarter. Dillone scored four points, while Oates and Matthews each hit a 3-pointer, as Trinity Christian outscored Holly Springs 15-12. Scott again led Holly Springs in scoring for the quarter with seven points.
Scott was held scoreless in the fourth quarter, but Marcus Elliott and Houston Wills tried to keep the Hawks in the game. Elliott scored seven points, all from the free throw line, and Wills added eight points — including a pair of 3-pointers.
Trinity Christian was able to pull away though. Todd Burt scored seven points, Boykin added six points, and Oates scored five points as the Crusaders pulled away for the win.
Boykin led Trinity Christian with 13 points, while Oates, Dillone, and Burt finished with 11 points each.
Scott was the leading scorer for Holly Springs with 18 points. Elliott finished with 14 points for the Golden Hawks.
