OCP basketball uses punishing defense to push past Apopka

Related Topics: Orlando Christian Prep, Apopka

Player of the game Omar Figueroa scored 10 of his game-high 21 points in the first quarter, and top-ranked Orlando Christian Prep used a constantly shifting defense to stifle Apopka in a 52-33 boys basketball victory on Saturday in the Kalyn High Master’s Classic.

“It’s all about teamwork,” Figueroa said. “It all starts with defense. We gotta focus. We can’t let this game get ahead of ourselves.”

The Warriors, ranked No. 1 in the Sentinel Super 16 and No. 1 across all seven FHSAA classifications, have won 36 in a row dating to last season. That streak will be challenged Monday when OCP plays at area No.
