Eagles Support CCC Teams

The Eagles continued to support the other Cascade Conference teams at the national tournament today as they attended the 1:45 p.m. Warner Pacific-Northwestern (Iowa) game and watched the Knights upset the 11th seed, 94-83, at Keeter Gymnasium. The game was delayed a good 15 minutes as one of the shot clocks needed repair.

After a dinner as guests of their hosts, Ride the Ducks, the team dined at Dave's Famous Ribs on the river walk before heading back to Keeter for a 7:45 p.m. game between Eastern Oregon and Cedarville (Iowa).  The game actually started around 8:30 p.m. Eastern Oregon dispatched the lower seed Cedarville, 82-74, but not after the Yellowjackets made it a close game.

So, the team left the hotel at 11:30 a.m. this morning and didn't return until 10:30 p.m. tonight after a long day in the gym.

Tomorrow, the team will meet briefly in the morning and then head to the Ride the Ducks boarding area for a water tour of the Branson river front. Then, it's back to Keeter for more games.
