The cheerleaders & varsity boys honored their seniors on Tuesday, Feb. 25th with a JV and Varsity win over the Eldon Mustangs. JV began their game on top, leading 16-7 at the end of the first quarter after several three-pointers from Nolan Ash and Aveion Sims. The Mustangs picked up the pace and took the lead in the third quarter, and a back-and-forth battle ensued but the Mustangs couldn’t keep up with the Eagles. Sims was the top scorer of the night for the team, leading with 17 points. Eagles win 48-42.

Varsity came out the gate swinging and Eldon never stood a chance. Jace Wren set the tone for the game scoring a three-pointer within the first minute followed by another three-pointer from Brody Troth. The team played a strong offensive game and possessed the ball for the majority of the game. The Eagles led 37-15 at the half and didn’t let up. Troth led the team in scoring for the night with 18 points, and the Eagles swooped Eldon with a final score of 68-37.
