Hard Loss
It was a tough one today. The Mountain Eagles get their first loss in while, losing to the HMS Seawolves 92-86. The wolves were killing us on the boards. Player of the game was Paris Papapetrou, who had 15 points, 20 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. We spoke to Val Delong, who had 5 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks: "Man, we had a bad day today. We learned that we can't keep teams out-rebounding us. We got killed today cause of rebounds. And we all need to get trained in rebounding or we'll have a hard time in D4. We nned to get more rebounds. We needed to get more stops. We tried hard at the end, but it just wasn't enough. We were terrible rebounding today." The Eagles were losing going into the break at halftime 47-36. It got bigger at the end of the third, 55-71 then. But the Eagles didn't give up. They made a tremendous comeback that if they pulled it off, the biggest comeback in Mountain Eagle history. But they couldn't get as colse as 4. Here's Narcisco Catandil on the situation: "Man we got too overpowered on the boards. We didn't even compete with papasomething. He killed us! Good for him. But what we need to do next scrimmage is get the boards. Boards are key to this game. And we won't do well without em." Here's tough:"Man, tough loss. We almost did it. At least I know my team is able to make a comeback. All I know is that after I do some ID training, I'll go straight to Rebounding. We need the work on it. And it'll benefit us at the most crucial times, lie in the playoffs. But we need to learn how to rebound. I still don't know why Terrence didn't call a timeout!" Here's Terrence: "Man, I thought that we would be able to comeback and win it easily, but I guess I was being too maive and didn't care. At least it's a scrimmage. So now, we need to laern what to do for our league game. Do that and come back strong next week against the Lasers." Well, stay tuned Saturday for when the Mountain Eagles will take on the Shep Sords st 7PM. This is David Anderson, reporting for The Eagle.
