On August 17, 13 of the top high school basketball players in the nation traveled to the Bahamas for "The Trip." The players went through two days of intense workouts before their Saturday night game against the Bahamian National Team. Bleacher Report's cameras came along for the journey.

Following the first workout, the team participated in the #22PushUpChallenge to raise awareness for veteran suicide. Coach Miles Simon led the group.

Later in the day, the team was invited to the Atlantis Penthouse Suite to attempt an epic trick shot, which 5-star PG Collin Sexton nailed from 17 floors up.
