Eagles East Coast Tourney Series: Augusta Eagles vs CVHAA Patriots

I have been looking forward to publishing today's feature from the "Eagles East Coast Tourney Series."  The Eagles opponent in the Semifinal game of the tournament, the CVHAA (Central Virginia) Patriots, was as good as any team we faced all season.  Two specific players, guard Daniel Johnson and forward Ben Horner, were particularly difficult to contain.  We have highlighted the use of the screen and roll by the Patriots in a prior post.  Two players that are this skilled and that work together this well put a lot of pressure on any defense.

But eventually Matt Miller, Joseph Jessee, and the Eagles team defense do a good enough job to hold the Patriots under 50 points and many Eagles make big baskets on the way to an Augusta victory and a spot in the championship game.
