Recap - Columbia Panthers - January 5, 2010

Augusta Eagles - 63, Columbia Panthers 41
The Augusta Eagles established a 35-15 halftime lead after forcing 16 turnovers, outrebounding the Panthers 25-16, and forcing the Panthers to shoot just 19% from the field. The Eagles executed their game plan of forcing Columbia's best player, #23, to catch the ball in difficult positions and to face a swarming team defense determined to keep the ball from penetrating into the paint. The Eagles also played an attacking yet unselfish offensive game that created many great scoring opportunities.
Many Eagle players had strong games. Matt Miller led the team in scoring with 21 points. Austin Crown added 13 points and 4 assists, and 3 steals. Nathaniel Crown added 13 rebounds and 5 steals to his ten points, and Kip Custer scored 10 points, making 4 of his 7 shots, and grabbed 7 rebounds.
The selected clips highlight the defensive pressure that the Eagles were able to apply and the great shots that they were able to create for each other on the defensive end.
Check back in the next day or so for summaries of the Victory Baptist, Low Country Wildcats, and North Georgia Falcons games. The Eagles have won 6 out of their last 8 games and four in a row. Congratulations to the boys!
