The Eagles head coach Robert Hubbard is very proud of how the team played and now the guys have their eyes set on playoffs.

“I felt really proud of our guys for the win over Riverdale,” Hubbard said. “Riverdale beat us at home earlier in the season so it was nice to get them at their place. Everyone on our roster played a key role in securing the victory. It would be nice to see what this group could do given the opportunity to participate in playoffs. I think we’re playing good basketball right now and we could be a tough match up to some teams. My goal is to finish strong in our two remaining league games and see if we get that opportunity.”
