It was a rough first outing for the
East Jackson Lady Eagles basket
ball team, as a road trip to North
Oconee ended in a 53-28 defeat.
The Lady Eagles found them
selves trailing early, as they ended
the first quarter of play down 18-4.
They would continue to trail the
rest of the night, as they managed
only nine more points in the sec
ond quarter, trailing 32-13 going
into the half.
East Jackson came out swinging
in the third quarter, but made up
little ground on the Titans, enter
ing the fourth quarter down 46-20.
The Lady Eagles would score only
eight more points before the end
of the game.
“We did not perform well on the
court, but it’s that type of game
that is not detrimental to have at
the beginning of the season for
several reasons,” said girls’ head
basketball coach Amy Larimer.
“It opens their eyes to the level
they have to play at in order to
compete and it makes them hun
gry to get to practice to work on
weaknesses and to the next game
to show improvement.”
Dynelle Todman led in scoring
with eight, followed by Emma
Turner and Bridgette Niles, who
scored five each. Turner led in
rebounds with 15, while Dane
Gaillard had six and Todman
had five.
The team was scheduled to
travel to Providence Christian
Academy in Lilburn Tuesday.
Results were unavailable at press
time.
Friday brings the team’s
first home stand against West
Forsyth, followed by a Saturday
game at East Jackson with their
cross-county rivals, the Jackson
County Panthers.
“We are fortunate to have the
opportunity to play the first home
game of the rivalry,” Larimer said.
“Both teams will be ready no
matter where it is played. Rivalry
games are difficult for the simple
fact that they can go either way
on any given night.”

games,” Turner said. “We
were in a situation to have an
opportunity to win Tuesday
night, and that’s really all you
can ask for. I think all of them
right now are important. It’s
going to be real important to
the community. I just hope we
don’t overlook that first home
game for Saturday night’s
game.”
That’s also an important game
for the community, as it will be
the first match-up between the
Eagles and the Panthers of
JCCHS for the boys’ basketball
program.
“That’s going to be a big one
for everyone involved,” Turner
said. “I’m sure they marked it
on their calendar when they
get to play us, and I know our
kids are excited to play them.
That’s the one thing that con
cerns me about Friday night is
overlooking West Forsyth. Not
because of talent, but because
of the opportunity to get to
play their friends and people
that they’ve grown up with in
school for the last 10 or 11
years.”
