Eastern at Western 1-22

[TripleDouble]

Normally this is a good game, that records can be thrown out the window. But with western being as down as they are this year, I see Eastern winning this one by about 15. They won the first two home and neutral site by over 20. With the Indians playing at home, I don't see it being that much, but more in the teens.

Hoggy, I seen where you posted that Eastern is avg holding teams to 52ppg. Thats great Defensive effort night in and night out. Just wandering what the record was for Eastern, as far as holding teams to a certain ppg. I was thinking that the season record was around 52ppg. Not sure though, If it is, this years squad may have a good shot at breaking it.

Tripledouble, that is a good question. I know they have been playing some good defense this year, but I don't know the answer for sure. I do know that the Notre Dame game, where they only gave up 26 points, has helped keep the average down. They have held their opponents below 50 points in 4 of the 10 games and only allowed 2 teams to score over 60 points. Coach Fitch definitely has these boys playing defense this year and I hope that it only gets better. Defense wins championships! (That is another topic of debate)

Any final score?

[TripleDouble]

The Final score was 63-49. I wasn't at the game, so I can't give details. But thats the final score.

[TripleDouble]

Sorry, 63-49 Eastern. Didn't say who won lol.

Congrats to the Eagles. I figured it would be tougher the 3rd time around. I seen a heck of a game at Northwest tonight as the Mohawks downed the Pirates. Anyone have any stats on this one?

[Hoggy]

Congrats to the Eagles!

Another conference win, another opponent held below 50 points and one step closer to the league championship! Still allot of ball left to be played and some teams are starting to gel (Clay) and some are waiting on some revenge. Stay focused and take them one game at a time.

You said it Hoggy. Focused is the key, can't let a team sneak up on you and steal one that you should win. There are a number of tough places to play in the league, it's not easy to play on the road in the SOC.
