-Eagle Pass
After losing to Del Rio in the championship at the Melba R. Tournament this weekend, the Eagles 7th -A team regrouped and gave Del Rio a good old-fashioned beat down in a 45-34 victory.
The entire defense came up big, but some key players on offense were Allan Rodriguez 7 pts., Matt De Alba 7pts, Diego Faz (did not play last 2 games) 8 pts., Jose Zuniga 9 pts., and Alex Martinez had a very impressive all around game and contributed 10 pts. of his own. The Eagles face the Maverick on Monday at the SAC and expect to continue adding to the success they've had this season with their new Coach Ricardo Rodriguez.
Eagles 7th-B almost beat Del Rio - B in a game that was exciting from start to finish, but a much improved Del Rio - B team capitalized on some of the Eagles mistakes and barely ended up taking the W back to Del Rio in 42-40 nail biter. Eagles- B ties Del Rio 2-2 for the season, and they look to add to their success against MJH on Monday.
