Varsity basketball vs. Cardigan Mountain School

On Saturday the Varsity basketball team took on the team from Cardigan.  Walking into the gym the Cougars had a clear size advantage and used it to their advantage during the opening minutes of the first quarter.  As the game started both teams struggled to score.  Finally Zeke L. '24 connected on a three-pointer and the boys on both teams seemed to relax.  The pace of the game was quite quick, and after the first four minutes, Cardigan open up a 12-8 lead.  Following an Eaglebrook timeout, the home squad started to settle down and control the pace of play at both ends of the floor.  Offensively the Eagles started attacking the basket and getting out in transition, and by halftime, Eaglebrook had opened a nine-point lead.  The second half followed suit, with Eaglebrook controlling the game at both ends of the floor, eventually securing a  58-37 victory.
