Eagles (56) v. Dawgs (54)
The final game of the day brought the most controversial ending when the first place Eagles take on the defending champion, Dawgs!
The Eagles got off to a fast start (12-10) in the first quarter but in the second quarter the Dawgs turned it around. Outscoring the Eagles, 16-6! A huge double-double by Ryan Sera, 19pts & 10asts, gave the Dawgs the lead that they would keep for almost the entire game!
For the Eagles, their new tandem, Tye and Brandon combined for 30pts & 13rebs! Down by 3pts going into the final period the Eagles made a final push! With 0:08 left in the game the score was 52-51. The Eagles inbounded the ball and a voice came from the Dawgs bench counting down the clock...incorrectly that caused the Eagles to shoot the ball with 0:03 secs left! Counting down the clock incorrectly resulted in a technical foul! The Eagles made the tech and the game was tied! Tye then drove the baseline and was fouled...two shots and the game was over! 54-52 Eagles win!
