The East Henderson Eagles will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the R-S Central Hilltoppers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
East Henderson had taken Hendersonville down for two straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end on Wednesday. The Eagles took a 53-49 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bearcats.
Despite their loss, East Henderson saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Jaylin Brewer, who posted ten points and four blocks, was perhaps the best of all. Caleb McKenzie was another key player, putting up seven points along with six boards and three blocks.
Meanwhile, R-S Central unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell 48-38 to Owen on Thursday.
