A stronger country. Good evening everyone, im karen loftus with your look at sports. With all of the talent that has come through hargrave military academys post graduate basketball program, there have been some pretty special individual throughout the years. But the show that hargraves braxton couple of weeks ago, wont be easily forgotten. Zac glover explains, in this weekly. Zac glover hargraves Braxton Beverly says hes been working on his game basically since birth. Braxton beverly, hargrave guard ive lived it, breathed it. Everything since i was a little kid. I grew up with a basketball in my hands. Zac glover the kentuckynative came to hargrave in chatham, virginia, with hopes of refining his skills before going onto play at college. But what happened a couple of weeks ago against genesis academy, went beyond expectation. A. W. Hamilton, hargrave head coach you just dont see that very often. It was a special day. You know, we had a Community Walk to raise awarness for cancer. We had a pink out, the whole gym is covered in pink. Were raising money for the jimmy v foundation, and to have that happen at the end of it, it was breathtaking. Zac glover after scoring 24 points in the first half alone, braxton picked up right where he left off in the second. A. W. Hamilton we came out in the second half, and i just told the guys, hey, look, braxtons got the hot hand, lets ride this thing out as long as we can. Braxton beverly i hit like two or three threes off of ballscreens. A. W. Hamilton i had two guys that must have set a hundred ballscreens that night. Jeremy williams, hargrave guard he didnt even want to shoot. We just wanted to feed him. A. W. Hamilton they did not want me to take him out of the game. Braxton beverly it just seems like every shot you shot just felt right on the money. Thats what everyone i shot felt like. Zac glover Braxton Beverly scored 70 points in a single game. Braxton beverly it was kind of hard to believe i did it after it happened. But you have to go back in the gym the next day, and get right back after it. Zac glover and its that gymrat attitude that braxtons teammate, jeremy williams, has also adopted since coming to hargrave, after graduating from Glenvar High School just last year. Jeremy williams its definitely not an easy place to be, and its not cut out for everybody, so you have to want to come here. You have to be committed to whatever your reason was to come here, but i dont think i couldve come to a better school, in terms of getting me better, and preparing me for that next level of life. Zac glover and while jeremy is still solidifying his plans for that next level, Braxton Beverly has committed to play his college ball at miami of ohio. But hargrave coach, a. W. Hamilton, says braxtons career could go even farther. A. W. Hamilton i wont be suprised some day if hes playing in the nba. I mean, he works that keep getting better. Hes going to have bigger moments than this 70. Braxton beverly itll definitely be one ill remember for the rest of my life. Keep practicing, keep getting better, and keep working hard, and you know, it might happen again. Zac glover in chatham, zac glover, wdbj7. Wall street ends the day with gains.
