Oak Ridge no Match for Eagles!

The Oran Eagles celebrated two victories tonight over the Oak Ridge Blue Jays.

Varsity Action:  The Eagles jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the opening minutes of tonight's game but then the offense went stagnant and the lead was only 10-9 after one period of play.  Oran ratcheted up the defensive pressure in the second, however and out-scored the Jay 20-2, as the defense fed the offense and the Eagles allowed only two free throws for a 30-11 advantage at the intermission.

The second half was more of the same as the Eagles controlled the final 16 minutes 26-16.

The Eagles were without the services of senior Hunter Schlosser, who will be
approximately two weeks due to a foot injury sustained during practice.

In Schlosser's absence, Oran was led by Jacob Priggel's 19 points. Max Priggel tallied 13 for Oran who is now 14-6.  The Eagles shot a paltry 33% (20-59) from the floor but sizzled from the line at 91% (11-12).

Jacob Priggel also topped the team with six steals and four assists. Garrison Mangels grabbed a team-leading nine rebounds to go along with his eight points

Junior Varsity Action:  In the preliminary, it was all Eagles all the time as Oran
soared out to a 24-7 first quarter lead and never looked back on their way to a 69-29 victory improving their record to 8-6.

Cole Priggel scorched the nets for 30 points to lead all scorers and did not play in the fourth quarter.  Layne Johnson added 13.
