Varsity basketball vs. Suffield Academy

The varsity basketball team made the trek south to Suffield Academy to face their JV squad. The Eagles were slow to get out of the gate on the offensive end but set the tone early the Suffield would need to work hard for every basket. As has been our calling card all season, defensive stops led to easy fast break points which kept us in the game early. Eventually, we settled down on the offensive end of the floor and opened up a 6-point lead just before halftime. Suffield capitalized on a few turnovers as the half was ending and cut their deficit to 30-28. The second half continued to be a tug of war, with Suffield holding the upper hand for most of the frame. After jumping out to a six lead the Tigers felt in control. Eaglebrook continued to work hard on the defensive end and eventually grabbed a lead they would not relinquish with just over two minutes to play. Suffield made a last-minute run, cutting the lead to 2 points, but the Eagles got a stop when they needed it the most and walked away with a 57-55 victory.
