Dynamic Prep's "Dynamic Duo" of four-stars, Jermaine O'Neal Jr. and Jaden Toombs had a dominant performance during the Jordan Holiday Classic on Saturday when the team took on Bishop McNamara's four-star trio of Prince-Alexander Moody, Brandon Woodard, and Jayden Mills. It was a 75-56 victory for the Texas-based prep school, with both SMU commits in double figures.
Toombs finished the game with a double-double of 14 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, while Jermaine O'Neal Jr. had 11 points, four assists, and one rebound against Bishop McNamara. Meanwhile, another Dynamic Prep player, Jacobe Coleman, had a team-high 16 points, two rebounds, five assists, and four steals.
Much like their coach and six-time NBA All-Star Jermaine O'Neal Sr., Dynamic Prep had a very defensive game, with Jermaine Jr. and Toombs having four steals each. The team also forced Bishop McNamara to commit 24 turnovers during the game.
Offensively, Dynamic Prep was 51 percent from the field and made seven out of 19 of its shots from behind the arc. The team also outscored Bishop McNamara in the paint, 42-20.
Meanwhile, two of Bishop McNamara’s four-star prospects, Prince-Alexander Moody and Qayden Samuels, combined for 44 points. Moody scored 20 points with two rebounds and four assists, while Samuels had 24 points, five rebounds, and two assists to lead the team.
