Outside The County-Oak Hill
Results from Oak Hill for Friday, January 6th
The Golden Eagles came back from 10 down early in the 3rd quarter to claim the 53-48 victory over a Peru Tigers team that came in ranked 5th in the state with an 8-1 record. The Eagles went to some full court pressure in the 2nd half of the third quarter and came up with some big points as they turned over Peru during the stretch and two big three pointers by Matthew Strange during that time, and we claimed the lead 44-41 going into the 4th quarter. After a total of 34 points scored in the third between the two teams, there were only 16 points scored total in the 4th as the defensive effort tightened up by both teams. Caleb Kroll and Landon Biegel hit two big free throws each in the last minute to seal the deal. Biegel came up huge in the 2nd half scoring 12 of his game high 17. Kroll helped out in the scoring column scoring 7 of his 13 in the first quarter. Fagan scored 9 of his 13 in the first half. Rounding out the scoring was Matthew Strange with 6, and Colin Middlesworth and Grant Elzinga with 2 each. That runs our record to 9-1, and we turn around and host Eastern tomorrow night with a 6pm JV start.
