A Season-Best Effort from William Schmitz Leads Eastlake over Mater Dei Catholic

Eastlake is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Schmitz and Eastlake will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Sweetwater at 6:30 p.m. on October 18th.
