Texas basketball powerhouse <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/null-27513/">Dynamic Prep</a> took the first step toward a national championship on Wednesday night, blowing out national juggernaut <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/montverde-academy-montverde-fl-5261/">Montverde Academy</a> (Fla.) 67-52 in the opening game of the Chipotle Nationals. 



The Bearcats took their first lead five seconds into the game and never trailed again, jumping out to a 12-8 lead after one quarter. They stretched that into a nine-point advantage at halftime, holding a 29-20 edge going into the break. 



Montverde struggled to score from the tip, shooting just 27 percent from the field for the game. Meanwhile, Dynamic’s offense flourished behind senior center <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jaden-toombs-152850/">Jaden Toombs</a>, who finished the game with 18 points and 12 rebounds. The Bearcats kept Montverde at bay throughout the third quarter, taking a 45-36 advantage going into the final eight minutes. From there, they stretched the lead to as big as 15 in the final few minutes to win their first-ever game at the tournament. 



Senior guard <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jacobe-coleman-240177/">JaCobe Coleman</a> chipped in 16 points and four rebounds, while <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/chris-nwuli-158725/">Chris Nwuli</a> (10 points, 10 rebounds) and SMU signee <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jermaine-oneal-jr-162089/">Jermaine O’Neal Jr.</a> (9 points, 6 rebounds) helped the Bearcats dominate on the glass. As a team, Dynamic out rebounded the Eagles 48-34 and also scored 36 points in the paint to Montverde’s 18. 



Uncommitted top-100 prospect <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dante-allen-178221/">Dante Allen</a> led Montverde with 16 points on 5/16 shooting, while Creighton signee <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/hudson-greer-158331/">Hudson Greer</a> added 13 of his own. Indiana signee <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/trent-sisley-152854/">Trent Sisley</a> and Florida commit <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cj-ingram-158068/">CJ Ingram</a>, two other top prospects, were held to a combined 16 points on 6/22 from the field, though. Montverde was also playing its first game without head coach Kevin Boyle, who took a job earlier this month at Ohio’s SPIRE Academy. 



<a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/news/high-school-basketball-montverde-academy-finds-next-head-coach-gonzaga-college-prep-steve-turner/">He will be replaced</a> beginning next season by <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/gonzaga-washington-dc-1782/">Gonzaga College Prep</a> (D.C.) head coach Steve Turner. 



Dynamic will now turn its attention to Thursday’s matchup with No. 2 seed <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/link-acedemy-branson-mo-27493/">Link Academy</a> out of Branson, Missouri.
