Pounding the ball inside, Davis Drive took a 4-point lead but once again, the Eagles adjusted defensively. The Eagle’s full-court pressure defense created multiple turnovers followed by the three-point shooting of T.J. Kendrick and Misean Rodgers.

With 6 seconds left in the game and the Eagles up 43-42, Davis Drive called their final timeout but the Eagles were ready. The full court pressure was simply too much for the Panthers and the Eagles clinched their first win of the season over the Panthers of Davis Drive.
