Huntington Expression Prep impressively handled business, securing a 78–61 victory over The Star Alliance (Italy) in an international showcase matchup.

The tone was set by Player of the Game Dazon Reid, who delivered a dominant two-way performance with 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Reid’s defensive instincts ignited transition opportunities, and his ability to finish through contact gave Huntington a consistent offensive rhythm. The five steals weren’t just hustle plays — they directly fueled scoring runs that widened the gap.

Huntington’s defensive pressure and pace proved decisive. By forcing turnovers and converting efficiently in transition, they created separation that The Star Alliance struggled to overcome. The physicality and tempo favored the West Virginia squad throughout the second half.

International matchups are often about adaptability and discipline. Huntington Expression Prep showed all three — dictating pace, winning the possession battle, and closing the game with maturity.
