The younger Robinson had five blocks in the first two minutes of the game forcing the Eagles to have to score from the outside to keep up with the visiting Lions who played well as a unit. An overall team effort by the Eagles had them in the game until an early technical foul on Head Coach Neto Reyes came into play giving Christian's coach the advan- tage of important interaction with both players and offi- cials. Robinson played well and was showcased by four fast break slam dunks which wowed those in attendance before his team pulled away in the second half. The Lions were in a half court press with Robinson up top which allowed him to take advantage of some easy approaches to the basket on Eagle turnovers. In the end, Christian ended up with the 67-50 win.

The Eagle Pass Eagles stood toe-to-toe with Justin Robinson and the San Antonio Christian Lions on Saturday at the SAC
Gymnasium going into the halftime locker rooms knotted at 30-30. Robinson, the son of San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson, will be a preferred walk-on at Duke University in the fall where he will be a part of Coach Mike Krzyzewski's Blue Devil Basketball Program.
“I’m happy to get early decision from Duke since it is so amazing academically,” the 6' 7" Robinson said to Adam
Rowe of the Blue Devil Lair via text, “It’s been a long time dream for me. The opportuni- ty to be a preferred walk-on is
exciting and I’m looking for- ward to being a part of the Duke Basketball tradition.”
