SECOND HALF
  • Post fought their way back going on a 10-3 run in the beginning of the third quarter to cut the Owls lead to ten.
  • A strong fourth quarter from Post where they scored 22 points was not enough for the Eagles, as the Owls offense took control and held largest lead of the game (19 point-lead) with 8:12 remaining in the game.
