Lady Eagles Tie for Third in AA Division!

The Summit Academy girls basketball lost 59-40 at Midwood High School on January 18, in a game that was originally scheduled to be played in Red Hook.

The 19-point loss ended Summit’s four-game winning streak. They edged Manhattan Center for Science & Math by one at home, beat Francis Lewis by three points, got a forfeit win over Boys and Girls and then beat Grand Street Campus on the 16th in a game that also could not be played at Summit.

Asbestos was released in a gym class after a ball hit the rim. There can’t be gym classes or basketball games at Summit while the gym is being inspected.

“I don’t know,” Coach Dytanya Mixson said about the gym opening. “It is up to the DOE. We have no control of that. We just have to sit back and wait. We are at their mercy.”

As a result of Summit’s loss to Midwood, they now both have a 7-5 record and are tied for third place in the Brooklyn AA division. Summit has five league games left in the season.

The Summit Lady Eagles beat Midwood 61-51 in December, also at Midwood, but this time they were not able to play up to the level they did in their first matchup with the Lady Hornets.

“They came out to play and we did not,” Coach Dytanya Mixson said after the game Mixson thought Castro, whose 11 points were tied for the team lead with junior Aichata Ballo, was Summit’s best player against Midwood.

“She played her heart out but that is nothing new,” Mixson said.

In the first half, one Midwood fan was very vocal and after he almost ran onto the court after a call he did not like. The refs briefly stopped the game and told him they would call security if he didn’t calm down.

Castro made a free throw to pull Summit within 36-23 before a Midwood timeout with 6:07 left in the 3rd. Then, junior Daishya Stallings converted a jumper close to the 3-point line before Summit got a steal and layup to get the deficit back to 13 points.

Midwood would go on a 8-1 run in the last 4:00 minutes of the 3rd quarter to improve their lead to 48-28.

Hodge continued her solid game with her deep jumper for Summit’s first points of the 4th with 4:37 left.

Diminutive sophomore Tiffany Wiliamson was on the floor for a few minutes towards the end of game with a leg injury and the crowd cheered when she was able to walk to the bench.

Also, towards the end of the game, Summit’s inbounds defense was able to force Midwood’s second 5-second violation.

Brereton made a 3-pointer and then Summit made a layup before the contest ended.
