Varsity basketball vs. Suffield Academy

This afternoon the Eagles hosted the JV team from Suffield for the second game of a home-and-home series.  Not quite two weeks ago the Brookies made the trip to CT and managed to pull off a 2-point victory.  The Tigers were looking for a little payback and came out playing with a lot of intensity and energy.  Eaglerbook handled everything Suffield threw their way, opening up 15-point leads in both the first and second half.  To their credit, Suffield never gave up and was able to cut the lead to 2 points with just over 2 minutes to play.  The Brookies settled down and took advantage of their superior ball-handling skills, beating Suffield's pressure easily down the stretch, and coasting to an 8-point victory, 67-59.
