DEKALB - It was too little to late for the Hebron Eagles.
Hebron scored more points in the fourth quarter than in the entire game, but it wasn't enough to overcome a 15-point deficit as Kemper Academy held on for a 60-57 win and remain in second in district 3A heading into the final week of the regular season.
“We spotted them too many points early in the game,” head coach Tri Nason said. “In the fourth, we switched to a full court press and they (Kemper) didn’t respond well to it. We came out with a loss but we know what we have to do the next time we play them.”

Old Dominion’s speed and quickness proved to be a factor Friday night as Hebron dropped a heartbreaker, 42-39 at home. It was the second time this season the Eagles were trumped by Old Dominion.

“We just didn’t get into a rhythm,” head coach Tri Nason said. “Nobody was hot. That’s probably what hurt us the most, our lack of flow and rhythm on offense.”

The Eagles had the lead after the first quarter, 14-10 before they went cold on the offensive side, scoring just four points over the next eight minutes.
