EAGLES GO 0-FOR-VERO

Southwest scored only 16 points in the second half in a 48-40 loss to Lake City Columbia on the final day of the Vero Beach Holiday Hoopla tournament. The Tigers (5-7) hit two 3-pointers in the final 15 seconds of the first quarter to take a 19-12 lead. The Eagles (5-7) pulled within one, at 25-24, at halftime due to a strong defensive effort that held Columbia scoreless for the first 5:54 of the quarter. The Tigers outscored Southwest 10-8 in the third period to go up by three. Trailing 39-35 with 1:45 remaining and without the ball, the Eagles had to start fouling and Columbia made 9 of 12 free throws to cinch the win.
