NWI Varsity played with some huge heart tonight showing signs of maturity as a team in a close battle with The Opdyke Belle-Rive Roadrunners. The Indian Eagles used a strong defensive effort and hit some clutch free throws down the stretch to pull out a hard fought 50-45 win and improve to 10-6 on the season.
It was a strong team effort from every single player and our bench (Jaxon & Keelan) really chipped in big time for us as well! I’m very proud of this team after letting a couple of close ones like this slip away earlier in the season.
The JV Indian Eagles lost a close battle as a questionable layup in which the player may have been given some extra steps was scored by the OBR Roadrunner after a turnover by the Indian Eagles with :05 to go to give them the 34-32 win.
Nonetheless hats off to a great OBR team on 2 great games and outstanding battles in both games tonight!
