Coach Jeff McInnis, Combine Academy upset nationally ranked Oak Hill at Carmel Tip-Off

Posted Nov 10, 2019
Former UNC point guard Jeff McInnis was hired in the summer at Lincolnton’s Combine Academy with the hope of building a national power. From the looks of things, it won’t take long. In his first game with a new team, McInnis directed Combine to a 76-74 overtime win over nationally ranked Oak Hill (Va.). “This team just wouldn’t quit,” McInnis said. (Charlotte Observer)
