Varsity Basketball v. Fessenden
The Varsity team traveled to Cushing Academy to play Fessenden on Friday, January 19. Despite loosing to the bears at the Boys Club Tournament last weekend, the Brookies were excited about the opportunity to play against an excellent team. The game started slowly with Fessy jumping out to a quick lead, but our team continued to work hard and keep the lead manageable. Down twelve points at the half, The Eagles came out strong in the second half, and quickly cut Fessenden's lead to six points. Fessy made a run, opening up a nineteen-point lead, but the Brookies would not give up. Great team defense and some timely shooting allowed Eaglebrook to cut the lead to one point in the closing seconds. The Bears made one of two free throws with six seconds remaining, giving them a two-point lead, and Eaglebrook was unable to get a shot off at the buzzer.
Next up for Eaglebrook is a Friday afternoon game against Deerfield JV.
