After a nine-point advantage in the second quarter, the Eagles (7-14, 2-7 Skyline) scored nine points total in the second half of Tuesday’s home game against New Hope Christian (7-11, 3-4) as they recorded a 37-28 loss. “We just have no intensity out there, we didn’t rebound and we played no defense. We went through the motions,” said Yon- calla head coach Nick Edera. “I don’t know, so I guess it’s my job to find some kind of intensity and find the small victories the rest of the season.” After a slow first quarter for LIONS both sides, the Eagles had an 8-6 advantage. Able to get some ear- ly second quarter buckets, the team had a 15-6 advantage mid- way through the quarter before the visiting Warriors were able to find success in the form of a pair of three pointers from Lau- ren Huttema. While Yoncalla led at half- time, a 12-2 run to start the third quarter put New Hope Christian up for good. “I think the key was we went in and talked about rebounds. Like, [Yoncalla was] getting re- bound after rebound and so we talked about making sure that they didn’t touch a rebound so that was key,” said New Hope head coach Kim Zumhofe on what the team talked about at halftime. “And just kind of ratch- eting it up on defense. And our shots falling, that always helps.” New Hope Christian was led by Jessi Loper who finished with a game high 16 points including 10 in the second half, outscoring all of Yoncalla during that time. “Our starters and our first couple off the bench got to fig- ure something out. We’re not even getting through any pro- gressions of our offense, we get a high screen and that’s it, nothing else is coming,” said Edera about the team’s lack of offense before discussing the team’s defense. “Our defensive intensity has got to step up a lot or else it’s not go- ing to be a pretty last couple of weeks.” Yoncalla was led in scoring by Shaunasi Hardy and Kaleigh Soto who each finished with six points. The team finished out the week with a 44-43 win over Rid- dle on Friday before falling to Elkton 42-28 on Saturday night Yoncalla’s Kenzie Walton looks to drive past a New Hope defend- at home. er on Tuesday.
