The Outlaws were also able to grab a lot of loose balls and caused several turnovers by out-hustling the Eagles. <The players really gave an all-out effort on the offen- sive and defensive end,= said Brown. <We were able to knock down a high percent- age of threes, and our mid- range shots fell and allowed us to consistently be in a close game.
