What a great crowd for the 2K Showcase hosted at Aquinas College tonight to see the Eagles vs Michigan Collegiate Cougars. The Eagles were coming off a tough lost to Byron Center Friday night. This would be another tough matchup facing the number 6th ranked team in the state.  This was a tough defensive battle in the 1st quarter with Eagles up one 15-14.  The second quarter the game would go back and forth with the Eagles going in at the half 25-23.   

In the second half, the Eagles would make some adjustments on offense and defense..  The Eagles defense was solid in the 3rd quarter.  The decision to play with two bigs Jaylan Ouwinga and Tyler Porte allowed for some size and more rebounding.  The Eagles would close out the 3rd quarter 35 -33.  The Eagles were able to make their free throws down the stretch to help close the game out. The Eagles of Grand Rapids Christian get the upset over the Cougars 55 - 53 to move to a 10-4 on the season.

It was a great team win with Senior Dono Thames leading the way with 21 points.  Junior Jaylan Ouwinga finished with 17 points. Nate Johnson chipped in with 9 points. The Eagles will be home on Tuesday against Forest Hills Northern.
