Thursday the Eagles beat a big and physical Parkers Prairie team, 80-58. “Like many teams seem to do against us they came out on fire from 3 in the first half and we made the adjustments to defend it better and the law of averages equaled out to help us to a 37-20 2nd half finish to close it out,” noted Coach Baune.

Tate Olson registered a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds.  He also had 8 assists.  Noah Noffsinger had 15 points and 4 assists, Bryan Bohn nailed 5 3-pointers to finish with 15 points and Jack Peeters was also in double digits with 12 points, while adding 5 rebounds.  Jonah Johnson contributed 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Breck Hensch chipped in with 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

On Friday New York Mills traveled to Barnesville for a road matchup against a good Class AA Heart O' Lakes school and arguably played their best all-around game. “We executed our game plan to perfection and frustrated Barnesville on offense all night long which led to a ton of fast break points for us,” reported Coach Baune. “It's been very fun to see the leadership and ownership of our top 6 seniors continue to expand and grow. We ended up winning 77-49.”

Olson (19 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 7 steals) recorded a triple-double in that game.  Peeters (16 points, 6 rebounds), Johnson (15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists), Noffsinger (14 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) and Bohn (11 points, 6 rebounds) were all in double figures.
