Eagles Soar To Second Round

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>BC gets 51 from their backcourt trio to advance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1284099' first='Jack' last='Walker'] gave the Eagles a huge spark</strong> - Boulder City came out flat to start the game but Walker didn't. He began by grabbing tough rebounds on both the offensive and defensive backbords. He then had an impact on the defensive end, getting a key steal to start the break. His early effort helped the Eagles shake off a sluggish start. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2263756' first='Sean' last='Pendleton'] is a lot shiftier than I thought</strong> - Pendleton had a snatchback cross that almost made a defender touch earth. It was that dribbling creativity that allowed him to smoothly defeat defenders off the bounce, collapse the defense and distribute to teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2348566' first='Rodrigo' last='Lopez'] had a big impact for VV</strong> - At times it was a bit awkward but it was effective. In addition to knocking down some threes the junior forward was all over the glass for the Bulldogs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2277065' first='Elian' last='Pinto'] is just the kind of player Virgin can build around </strong>- Although they were without their other star Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1786622' first='Malachi' last='Davis'], Pinto showed flashes of the future. High IQ guy, the guard navigated the pressure well, while proving to be effective with his mid range shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1670308' first='Luke' last='Wright'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1397784' first='Roman' last='Rose'] give the Eagles two elite shooters</strong> - The Eagles will be a tough out because of their guards. When Rose and Wright are on, they're tough to stop. They were on tonight. Wright was Mr outside, bombing threes from all over the floor while Rose attacked the basket. They combined for a total of 42 between them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
