Leading the charge for the Eagles was Cooper Seidner, who scored an impressive 19 points, spearheading the team's offensive efforts with a lot of savvy post play and putback shots. He was well-supported by Kaleb Gettis with 9 points—including a dramatic dunk to seal the win—and Maxton Tate and Garrett Remner, who contributed 7 and 6 points, respectively. James Dissell also made significant contributions, both defensively and offensively, epitomized by his key three-point play in the crucial final moments of the fourth quarter.

The halftime provided its own dose of excitement when Tommy Grajzl hit a floater right at the buzzer, pushing the Eagles' lead to 6 points and setting the tone for the second half. The Eagles' defense was particularly notable, with Dissell providing standout moments that included relentless guarding and crucial play disruptions against multiple Wildcat opponents.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Head Coach Brandon Lerch expressed pride in his squad's execution and heart.

"I'm proud of how hard our guys played today. Our guys wanted to send the message that they were the better team and they did just that,"

said Coach Lerch. Echoing his sentiments, James Dissell shared,

"I left it all on the floor tonight. I'm going home and hydrating to celebrate!"
