Brady MacAdams has been beyond clutch over the past week for Archbishop Wood.
The junior wing nailed a game-winning three at the buzzer against Erie Cathedral Prep to win the Burger King Classic last Saturday, then one-upped himself back home Friday night. With the Vikings still chasing their first positive result in the Philadelphia Catholic League this season and trailing a rising Cardinal O’Hara side late, MacAdams tapped into the clutch gene again.
MacAdams sank a pair of fourth quarter threes, including the go-ahead look, as Wood rallied past the Lions 51-48 for that elusive first PCL win.
“This one was super important for us,” MacAdams said. “We came off some tough losses, we played good teams, but we’re starting to get a little bit of a win streak and we’re moving forward.”
