It was the second year in a row that the Eagles finished fifth in the sixteen team event.
The game was tied after one at 16. Oran was up five, 28-23 at the break. The lead was 10 after three, 47-37 and the Eagles expanded it by nine over the last eight minutes as the Bobcats lost two starter due to fouls.
Tyson Goodale and Jacob Shoemaker each scored 18 to lead all scorers. Goodale hit a trey and Shoemaker nailed four. Shoemaker hit three straight three's in the third to help provide additional margin. Todd Priggel finished with 15 and was 9-10 at the line. Ty Johnson added 12.
