Eagles win easily, top Winston 56-26

November 9, 2011

In what head coach Tri Nason described as a complete opposite performance from Monday’s season opening victory, the Eagles moved to 2-0 with a commanding 56-26 victory over Winston.

‘I was really happy that they came out and scored early the way they did,” Nason said. “I think the more we play and get used to what we do, it will just prepare us better for down the road.”

MERIDIAN - With seconds remaining on the clock, and Oak Hill with a one point lead, Lamar hit a 22-footer at the buzzer to steal the win right out of the Raiders hands, 68-66 in the season opener on the road.

“They broke our hearts there at the end,” head coach Brian Middleton said. “Some things you have to learn.”

With five seconds remaining, Oak Hill had the lead 66-65. Lamar called a timeout to regroup.

“We had it well defended,” Middleton said. “We just didn’t get the stop when we needed it.”
