Fishburne coach Ed Huckaby hopes his team got a wake up call on Monday afternoon during its inaugural home game.
Mack Academy scored five 3 pointers in the second half, taking advantage of the tired Fishburne defense, to ruin the Caissons’ ribbon-cutting ceremony with a 99-81 win.
“We have 30 games and there is no doubt in my mind that we will win 24 or 25 of them,” Huckaby said. “No question in my mind. We took a butt whooping and that got everyone’s attention.”
Both the Mack and Fishburne programs are in their infancies.
