Eagle Valley basketball played Osakis last Tuesday in Osakis. They have a strong team and they proved it. We began playing well in each half. The first round-ups? 6-6 with a chance to pull ahead with some free throws. We missed and they capitalized with an 8-0 run to increase their lead. At the half, we trailed 51-30.
