Thirds Basketball v. Kingswood Oxford
On the afternoon of Winter Carnival the Eaglebrook Thirds basketball team faced off at home against Kingswood Oxford. Eaglebrook started strong, overwhelming the visiting team with hustle plays in the low post and a few long-range scores.
Halfway through the first half, Kingswood Oxford found their rhythm and began exploiting holes in the Eagles' defensive zone. A string of successful outside shots stretched the home team’s zone and the visiting guards found their bigs down low for easy buckets to make it a real game.
In the second half, Kingswood Oxford turned up the defensive heat with relentless full-court pressure. The Brookies coughed up too many turnovers, converted by the other team for easy baskets. The score might have gotten out of hand were it not for the reliable defensive intensity of Paul D. at center, a standout at the position all season. Coby B. also shined on the inside and outside, helping to keep the game competitive after the half.
The lead proved insurmountable for Eaglebrook. The visitors played “keep away” for the final two minutes, which limited the Eagles' offensive opportunities, ending the game in an efficient, if clinical, fashion.
