"It was a really fun girls basketball game," head coach Crystal Strickland said, "it was two great teams that competed, it came down to the wire but I was really proud of the way our girls battled back. We were down eight at halftime but hit huge shots, huge free throws, it was just a ton of fun."
Rory Pruis was one of four Lady Eagles in double digits with 15 points and five assists.
"It's so cool to pass it to your teammate and have the ultimate confidence and she'll hit that shot," Pruis said, "it's great to have that confidence in our teammates."
