Last week the Eagle boys had their minds occupied with some high-stake ball games. Last Friday, the boys hosted Battle Creek and it appeared to be an even match-up. The Eagles had a perfect start, pulling ahead 25-17 to push the Braves back. Keeping things interesting, the visitors snapped back 11-5 in the second quarter to bring the game to 30-28 still to the Eagles. With their advantage slipping, the Eagles kicked it into high gear and once again laid the smack-down on their opponent 16-10. With the curtain closing quickly, the Braves made one final push to bring it to them. They did manage to overcome the hosts in the fourth, but overall the Eagles' lead was too great and the match ended 54-50 to the home team. Turner Heiss led the offensive with 17 points, sinking seven of 10 two-pointers for 70 percent, as well as nine rebounds and one steal; Porter Mathews had 11 points, 12 rebounds and two steals; Nate Brown had seven points, two rebounds and two steals; Maguire Heiss had six points, three rebounds and one steal; Ryder Kelly had six points; Braxen Eichelberger had five points, three rebounds and one steal; Cooper Mckay and Colten Shoemaker both had one point each; and Cameron Laursen had four rebounds.
