Bronx Eagles Soars Past Competition
Eagle Academy remained unbeaten last Friday with a 77-75 victory over Gompers that came down to the final shot - a three-point attempt by Gompers’ Charles Brown that clanged off the back rim and bounced away as time expired.
“We pulled the game out,” said Eagle Academy coach Rodney Plummer. “I felt that they didn’t have enough time to advance the ball without a long pass. I felt we were OK, unless they hit a Hail Mary shot.”
Leading the way with a game-high 24 points, senior Antoine Gattling hit the front end of a one-and-one to give the Eagles a two-point lead with nine seconds remaining. Brown collected the rebound on the ensuing miss and dribbled the length of the floor, pulling up and missing from the left wing.
