Avengers Win 57-43 Against Davies Patriots [VIDEO]
EGHS scores a welcome victory after a couple of recent losses.
The EGHS Boys Basketball team earned a welcome win Friday night in its game against Davies Career & Technical High School, 57-43. With the win, the Avengers league record improves to 6-5.
The Avengers started the game on a 10-0 run against the Patriots. Coach McKenzie had started the sophomores, who came out strong. Then the Patriots started to find the hoop. By halftime, the score was 33-22 Avengers. During the second half, EG scored a total of 24 points. The final was 57-43 Avengers.
“We got the win, which is the important thing,” said assistant coach Matt Streich afterwards. “Starting out 10-0 we would have liked to extend that lead to 20 maybe 25 points but it never seems to be an easy win for us.” Still, he said, “we’ll take it for now.”
Sophomores Brandon Eckles and Pat Lavan were the Avengers high scorers each with 10 points.
Considering they left the court with a win, they definitely could have played better. However, it is a win and they will take it.
On Tuesday, the Avengers go on the road to play the 1-10 Mount Saint Charles Mounties.
