Varsity basketball vs. Lawrence Boys Club

On Saturday the Brookies made the trip to Lawrence Ma to face the Boys Club team.  Earlier this season we made the trip and were able to pull out a victory.  This time we were a bit short-handed and the boys struggled early to get their legs. The Boys Club held a 10-point lead midway through the first half, but Eaglebrook kept battling and tied it up with about 3:00 minutes to play in the half. Lawrence closed the frame out with a few deep threes and entered halftime up 5 points. The intensity turned up in the second half as both teams played hard.  The Eagles' defense held Lawrence in check, forcing them to settle for outside shots and scraped a five-point lead together entering the final minutes.  Lawrence got hot and regained the lead, but the Eagles continued to work hard on the defensive end, creating turnovers and getting some big baskets to keep it close.  The Brookies tied it up as the half ended forcing overtime.  Both teams continued to fight hard on both ends of the floor and the Eagles finally prevailed 55-53 after two overtime periods.
