Eagle Boys Get Washed Last Week

O'NEILL'S TURNER HEISS -forces his way around a Central Catholic player in action last week.

The O'Neill boys basketball team move into their second week of this season's play, and it seems they have begun to struggle.

Their first game came on Thurs. Dec. 7 when the Eagles invited the Elkhorn Valley Falcons. From the start, things weren't looking too positive for the Eagles. Quarters one and two went the Falcons, putting them a fair bit ahead the Eagles.

Quarter three was the Eagle's first and last victory this match. In the final, the Falcons barely edged out the Eagles, and managed the win overall, 53-42.

Drew Morrow leads with 19 points, shooting two of six three-pointers for 33 percent and five of 17 two-pointers for 29 percent. Morrow also had one steal. Turner Heiss had 11 points, eight rebounds and two steals; Trevor Alder six points and one rebound; Colton Osborne two points and eight rebounds; Porter Mathews two points and five rebounds; Grant Dusatko two points; Evan Kopecky five rebounds; and Ryder Pokorny four rebounds and one steal.

It would be just one short day after that the Eagles would travel to Hartington to take on the Cedar Catholic Trojans at their court. The Eagles took another loss, 47-33.

Quarter one kicked the game off with an early Trojan lead, with them  ahead by six points. The Eagles took next quarter but were still trailing by five points. 

By the next quarter's end, the Trojans had a pretty substantial lead, gaining an additional seven points. The final quarter only served to push the Trojans further ahead and cemented their win over the Eagles, 47-33.

Morrow again leads with 16 points, shooting three of ten three-pointers for thirty percent and three of nine two-pointers for 33 percent. Morrow also three rebounds and two steals; Mathews had 5 points and 11 rebounds. Pokorny five points, four rebounds and one steal; Alder three points and one steal; Osborne two points and six rebounds; Heiss two points, two rebounds and one steal.
