Denair vs the Running Clock

Out of control fans at a recent game

The high school mercy rule was on display on Monday night as the Eagles crushed the lowly Coyotes. It was evident from the defensive play that the Lady Eagles are turning an overwhelming defense into a very good offence. The girls in purple and grey had 14 shots blocked in just the 1st half. As the Denair players drove pass the first line of defense where their temporary delight was turned into a nightmare as their shots were rejected by help or a long arm from behind. The tight TC defense held Denair to a mere 13% shooting for the night. The Lady Eagles were so good on "D" that they even held the Coyotes to 33% from the free throw line;-)

On the offensive end of the court the Eagles continue to impress. A balanced offence refused to give the Coyotes any hope. Natalie Snyder had her best game as a Lady Eagle scoring 13 points which included three 3 pointers. Amy Wright also scored 13 and Kaisa Spycher make 15 points. When substitutes came in there was no let down on defence and the offence continued to roll. Every girl who played scored including Simi Grewal's first point of her varsity career. Her smile was great:-) The girls played hard against their rivials and never let up in the 61-18 pasting of Denair.

Take a road trip to Waterford (7 miles) on Thursday, Jan 14th and cheer the Eagles as they take on the Water Buffaloes, that isn't what they are but I think it would be a good mascot, at Waterford High School.
