The Eagle deficit had grown even farther; the third period ended with the score 34-21 in favor of the Warriors.
‘Busco began to close the gap in the fourth.
In the first three minutes of the quarter, the Eagles went 6-for-8 from the charity stripe.
Overall, they finished at 61 percent from the line, going 14-23.

Arrowsmith and Chris Jones led the team with nine points.
The end result was Westview defeating Churubusco 47-31.
