This week, the Eagles took a hard fought loss to DeMatha on January 13, 70-67. The team was led by senior point guard Chuck Harris who scored 24 points, but it was not enough to beat the Stags after leading for much of the game. Click here to see highlights.

On January 15, however, the team traveled to McNamara and avenged last year's road loss to the Mustangs with a 70-55 victory. The Eagles led by just five points heading into the fourth quarter, but Coach Turner's team held the home team to just 4 points in the final frame to claim the decisive win. Enjoy these highlights from the bounce back win via Capitol Hoops:
