HIGHLIGHTS

Girls Basketball Highlights

The Modified team traveled to Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons to take on a very tall and tough Knights team. The Eagles put up a great fight, but the Knights' size was too much for the Eagles as the Knights cruised to a 41-27 win. The Eagles were led by Katy Ferguson with 13 points and Avery Menge with 7 points.

Boys Basketball Highlights

The JV Boys' Basketball team hosted Northville last night in a non-league game. The Eagles jumped out to a fast 10-0, but the Falcons battled back to tie it late in the fourth quarter. They exchanged the lead several times before the Falcons took the final lead with less than a minute left to hang on for a 46-42 victory. The Eagles were led by Grayson Eagan with 18 points and Joshua Eaton chipped in 14 points.

The Modified battled Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons all night. It was a back-and-forth contest all night as they kept exchanging leads and ties. The Eagles pulled ahead for good with 45 seconds left in the game and held on for a 36-32 victory. Issac Schaperjahn led the way with 15 points. Theo Friedman and Gavin Coulter each had 6 points.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Avery Menge

Avery brings competitive energy into practices and games, which helps push her teammates to improve daily. She is a big contributor in rebounding for our modified team, and is she also averaging 6 points/per game. Avery displays good leadership on and off the court, which is a quality of a Golden Eagle.

Evan Schaperjahn

Evan Schaperjahn knocked down two clutch free throws to send the JV Basketball team into the Championship game at the Riverhawk tourney, which was also their first win of the season. Evan then played in the championship after getting stitches from the previous game led the in scoring and led the defensive front to secure the championship. Evan works hard in practice every day and is a leader on the court for his teammates.
