Eagles enjoy Homecoming
The McKenzie Tigers were still roaring
after their big upset win over Florala on Tuesday, but were
unable to continue the end results as the Pleasant Home Eagles
ended a "sweet" night of basketball defeating the area rival
37-25.
With the Victory the Eagles now own the area lead at 3-1 after
Florala defeated Brantley on Friday Night. Pleasant Home
started slow in the first taking a three point (8-5) lead over
former coach Miles Brown's McKenzie team.
The Eagles extended the lead by two in the second and took an
18-13 half time break.
The second half was a little disappointing for Eagles Coach
Jerry Davis who felt his team played sloppy and "weren't up to
par". The game was a slow paced, low scoring
event, but it was the free throw line that kept the Eagles in
the lead after hitting 8-9 in the fourth.
"Next week's going to be a rough week," he said. "We have to go
to Florala and to Brantley. We got control of our destiny and
we're in a hunt for a change. These kids are excited and feel
good about themselves."
Josh Dozier and Tyler Dozier lead Pleasant Home with 9 points
apiece.

who lead the Eagles with 13. The B-Team Eagles improved to
