Girl's Basketball News – Coach Cowan's Notes… The J.V Lady Eagles participated in the 7 th grade LIC this past weekend at Donovan. The opening game was against Cissna Park . We started out very well and held a 8-4 lead. This however was the only lead we would ever have as the Eagles lost 23-30. The girls were back the next day to play the host Donovan team. The girls secured an easy victory 39-2. Two day tournament totals were Andrea 35 pts, Kennedy 11 pts, Rayann 7 pts, Billie 6 pts, and Anna 3 pts. Others that helped defensively were Shelby Spitz, Jessica, Maggie, and Haley.
The Lady Eagles varsity flew into the county tournament to lock horns with the Tri-Point Raiders Tuesday night. The game plan for the evening was to lay back and that's exactly what we did. Amazingly enough, we still hauled in 48 rebounds and won 42-18. Andrea led the team with 15 pts and 3 stls. Kandace added 10 pts and 5 stls Kayla 9 pts and 11 rebs, Kortnie 6 assts and 6 rebs, Hannah 11 rebs, Kennedy 5 rebs, Rachel 4 pts and 6 rebs, and Alex 1 reb, Billie 2 rebs, and Anna played good defense.
The Eagles were back to the county tournament on Wednesday night to take on the Raiders of Iroquois West. We had something to prove this night since we only beat the Raiders by eight points the first time we played. The girls didn't look very sharp at first as we made silly mistakes. The second half was smooth as butter as we ran away with the game 42-23. Kortnie led the way with 15 pts and 8 stls. Andrea added 10 pts and 5 stls, Kayla 9 pts and 9 rebs, Kandace 6 pts and 5 stls, Hannah 4 pts and 3 rebs, and Kennedy 2 stls. Rachel, Billie, and Anna had 1 rebound each. The championship is Thursday Nov. 13 th at 7:15 at Clifton . Let's show our church and school spirit and pack this gym. GO EAGLES!!!!!

Boy's Basketball News—Coach Sandmann's Notes... Our basketball team began their season with a trip to Thomasboro.

Following the trip to Thomasboro our team returned home to take on the Donovan “Wildcats” with much different results. The Eagles displayed solid defense and discovered their shooting touch as well. Once again Dalton C. led the way with 17 pts., 14 reb., 1 assist, 7 stls.;.
