The Memorial Mavericks and the EPJ Eagle renewed their rivalry at the EPISD Sports Complex Gymnasium on Tuesday and the Mavs came away with a close 31-29 victory over the Eagles in a game that EPJ led comfortably early. EPJ, behind the ex Mustang Ricky Flores, had a 13-9 lead in the first half, then Tony Flores, his teammate on the Twin Towers Championship from last year came in and came through big time for the Silver & Black Attack along with Big Joe Esqueda who also dropped in six big points late and kept them in the game. Ricky Flores put the Eagles ahead with a big three pointer late and big Cal Roman put in all of his six points in the second half to keep the Eagles ahead, but a big play by Tony Flores on a set play from under the basket put the game away for the Mavericks who came away with a 31-29 victory.
