EAGLES LOSE TO BRADDOCK

Ice cold shooting was too much to overcome Thanksgiving eve in a 51-45 loss to Braddock in the home-opener. The offensive futility was at its worst in the third quarter when the Eagles shot only 3-for-18 from the floor. The Bulldogs led 14-8 after one period, 21-17 at the half, and 34-24 entering the final quarter. Southwest cut the lead to 2 points on a Gio Gonzalez 3-pointer with 44 seconds left but the Eagles had to foul to get the ball back and Braddock hit 4 of 6 free throws to close out the game. Head coach Tom Moore said, "We had plenty of open shots. We need to be smarter under pressure." The scoring:
Juachon 15
Gonzalez 10
Stewart 8
Godoy 5
Vargas 4
Rams 3
