Dramatic Win in Double Overtime!
The longest game in Mountain Eagles history, but the Mountain were able to pull it off, they won it in dramatic fashion against 76ersss in Double-Overtime! They won 130-118! It was exciting!!!!! The Mountain Eagles weren't able to pull away because of this one guy; Emilio Moll. He kept it close and put it in overtime because he scored 59 points the whole game!!!!!!!!!!! "He was tough to beat, but we maged him though." said coach Marcus Terrence. He and Carles Canals were the players of the game. For his first game as a Mountain Eagle, he got 36 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and two steals. Here's him; "Ok, it was a a tough game, I'm very tired, but at least we won......" Dekis was also a valuable player in the game. He had a triple-double! He got 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists. "I'm glad I got a triple double. My goal this season was to get a triple-double! Now I hope there will be more to come." Zoran Jakovic and Fang Ruiguo were also key players and had stellar performances. Jakovic had a double-double with 28 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals. Fang had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assists, and 1 block. Fans were scared when he got 3 fouls in the 2nd quarter already. In the second half though he calmed down and had no fouls. Here they are; Jakovic:"Every point mattered today. We had to win to make a statment. We did. One game down, a lot to go....." Now Ruiguo: "I knew I had to calm down if we had a chance to win. I calmed my self down in order to win. I did. Now hopefully another guy won't give me a hard time like him again. Moll was and is a power scorer. Now we know not to underestimate these 76ersss again. For sure." Kruger was clutch in the fourth, the Eagles wouldn't have won with that 3 pointer near the end of relugation. He ended the game with 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 block. "I was glad to win the game. I was nervous though when I had to go to the free throw line. At least I made em. Man, I hope we never go into a 2OT again." 12 points contributed from Roche (4), Jenkins (6), and Rabi (2). Now, The Mountain Eagles shot about less than 45% from the field, still, decided the game over the free throws, where the Eagles made 24-35, where the sixersss did 9-21. Shocking that Moll missed all three free throws when he went to the line with little time left in 2OT. Mountain Eagle lost the rebound battle with 63-61, but they doubled them in assists, with 41-20. "All in all, tough game today. It was the hardest one of my career. I mean, we were barely able to control Moll's 59 points! It was a hard fought game, and we did it. I'm glad we won." said Tough. Now, the Mountain Eagle have to face another good team; Bode-Diggity Dogs, AKA their rival. They're 2-0 with him so far, and they hope to go 2-0 on Tuesday. "They're a tough team, they're good, got Buer, and were barlyable to win 115-111. Let's hope for some luck!" says tough. One game down, a lot to go in this Mountain Eagles season. What will they do next? Stay tuned for all the latest news, scores, highlights, and more with The Eagle. This is Matt Davis, reporting for The Eagle.
