Eggers went on to say "It
looks like most of our games
are going io be close," He was
pleased with the players stay
ing out of foul trnuhle and he is
looking forward to this playing
a key part in the upcoming
games; a rematch with Uma
tilla on Friday and a first time
square off, with Wahtonka on
Saturday. Both games will be
played at home and are to
begin at 7:30 p.m.
"Our , defense has slipped '
and we're trying to re
emphasize that," Eggers
stated. "Umatilla is a key
game and we need to play
under control while keeping
the tempo. Wahtonka is a big
team. Although they are one
and four in the league, they
are a good team. We need to
stop their big guys. Walters
and Biers. In this game as in
most of our games, we will
have a height disadvantage
but we have the ability to
win!
