Following two straight wins over Walden and Heritage Academy the Eagles have lost the next four games to Fulton City 59-39, Community Christian 62-52, Fulton City 55-11 and Lyon County 85-43.

The Eagles record of 4-15 has the chance to surpass last season’s 4-20 season with at least two or three very winnable games left on their schedule. The 2002-03 team won 10 games and last year’s four wins has been the most since that time.
