Good Vision Academy 94, North American 67
P.A.R.C. | February 24, 2026
There are nights when the Wild Stallions stampede.
And there are nights when you see clearly that you're watching a young group still growing into its strength. Tuesday night was about growth.
North American's JV squad fell 94–67 to a seasoned Good Vision Academy team, but the story goes deeper than the scoreboard.
A Matchup Between Developmental Programs
This was not a typical JV contest. Good Vision Academy arrived with a roster filled with players who may have slipped through traditional recruiting pipelines, but not due to lack of ability. Several have already secured acceptance into college programs and will enroll this fall.
In the meantime, they've been sharpening their games against college JV teams and competitive men's leagues. That "prove myself" edge was evident from the opening tip.
They played with urgency. They played with maturity. And they played with balance.
Four players scored in double figures, led by Ajanis Martin and Darren Carswell with 19 points each. Alex Dixon added 14, while Elian Williams chipped in 13 off the bench. Good Vision Academy shot 42.9% from the field, hit 14 three-pointers, and converted 93.3% from the free-throw line — efficiency that proved difficult to overcome.
A Different Look from the First Meeting
Earlier this season, when these two developmental squads met, it turned into a high-scoring showcase. Three NAU JV players performed so well that they earned varsity call-ups shortly after that game.
Those impact players were absent this time around.
Without those standouts, the Wild Stallions looked younger — energetic, competitive, but still building chemistry and consistency. This was a glimpse of a team in development, not a finished product.
Stallion Standouts
Despite the final margin, there were strong individual performances that signal promise.
Jordon Dimas delivered a commanding double-double with 19 points and 17 rebounds. He controlled the glass and provided interior stability throughout the night.
Uros Bekcic came off the bench to score 11 points, attacking the paint and drawing contact.
Anthony Bergara added six assists while helping manage the tempo.
As a team, North American recorded 19 assists and won the rebounding battle 41–40, showing effort and unselfish play. The challenge came with efficiency — shooting 38.3% from the field and 56.5% from the free-throw line — along with 23 turnovers that limited momentum-building runs.
Leveling Up
From an eGaming coach watching a basketball game — yes, we're versatile out here — here's the reality:
There are nights you win, nights you lose, and nights where you gather XP for the next level.
Tonight? XP gained.
A lot of it.
Good Vision Academy played like a team that has already unlocked major portions of its skill tree. They were composed, balanced, and confident in their roles.
North American's young Stallions looked like a squad still discovering hidden abilities — flashes of strength, moments of promise, and stretches where the game slowed down just enough to see what's coming.
And what's coming is real.
The potential is there. Big time.
We'll ride again.
This one was part of the journey.

The Bigger Picture
Development is not always linear. Some nights are about results. Other nights are about reps, lessons, and building resilience.
Good Vision Academy played like a group already preparing for their next collegiate stop. North American's JV squad is still carving out its identity, but the potential is clear.
The Colts are learning. The foundation is forming. Growth is happening — possession by possession.
They will be Stallions soon.
But rule number one still applies: listen to your coaches. That's where growth accelerates. That's where details sharpen. That's where talent turns into discipline — and discipline turns into wins.
