USN picks up its first win of 2025 with a win over Valor Collegiate Academy.  
On the first Saturday of 2025 USN defeated valor 70 to 39. The Tigers lead from start to finish and there were positive contributions from every player on the roster. Braylin Davis lead all Tigers with 21 points in three quarters of play. The highlight of the day was Clay Payne scoring the 1000th point of his career. This milestone couldn’t have come more emphatic way for the 6'8" senior from USN who accomplished this with a thunderous put back dunk. Next up for the Tigers will be Hume Fogg High School. This will be a rematch from the first week of the season or the game where the Tigers lost in overtime.
