EOSC Tournament - Day Two

Lady Eagles’ Game 7

For those watching the Lady Eagles play on Friday night, it was déjà vu of Friday night the previous week. Victory Life looked as though they hadn’t shot a ball in weeks (maybe months) and the scoreboard reflected it. Eagletown took the contest 56-20 and sent Victory Life to the third place contest for the second consecutive weekend. The Lady Eagles are now 5-2 and will face Spiro at 3 pm on Saturday.
When we last left Olivia Rustin, she had played a fantastic game on Thursday night, but tweaked the ankle she injured in the Rock Creek Tournament. Rustin tried to make it out on the court; however, she just couldn’t stay. The ankle needs rest and Rustin will be a gametime decision tomorrow.
As for the rest of the Lady Eagles, Meagan Woodall once again led the way in scoring, but this time with only 9.
Meanwhile, Eagletown’s inside duo of ShaVannah Short and LaKrisha Pennon was a force to be reckoned with. The size mismatches in the lane proved to be too much for Victory Life this time around.
This was the first big test for VLA this season and Eagletown’s Lady Eagles showed Victory that there is still a way to go.

Eagles’ Game 7

The Eagles were not at full strength in either game in the Eastern Tournament. With ankle injuries to three of the top eight players and another of those eight recovering from sickness, those watching Victory Life in the tournament this week were not treated to seeing the Eagles at their best.
That aside, the Spiro Bulldogs came out and played with the desperation of a team that badly needed a win. And in doing so, they outhustled the Eagles in every facet of the game. They pressed the entire game (and I mean for 30 of the 32 minutes) and forced numerous Eagle turnovers. Spiro also caught fire from outside the arc, draining 12 three-pointers.
VLA was led in scoring by Cameron Roesler who had 12 points. The Eagles also got 7 points apiece from Andrew Cacho and Tony Ramos.
Victory falls to 3-4 on the season now and will take the court again on Tuesday night at Dickson.
