From the beginning of the first quarter it looked like the DPCA Eagles could capture a victory over the Denver Eagles, and except for a brief portion of the third quarter, the DPCA home team held a commanding lead throughout the game and brought home a 42-24 victory, their second in a row in the DPCA gym. The Denver team managed to close within nine points in the third quarter in FRCAA league play Tuesday night, but the DPCA Eagles bounced back in the fourth and then ran away with the game. Several of the boys had a good night at the bucket. Hawk White capitalized on a memorable fast break and ended up scoring five for the evening, while Noah and Micah Ritschard tied with fourteen each. Sophomore Joel Parker was close behind with nine points scored. 
Strong supporting roles were played by Jase Staudt, Levi Jelinek, and Seth Turner. The team will miss Levi after the break, bidding him farewell as he returns to the Bahamas for the spring semester.
The Eagles will be taking a break in the season for Christmas, with the next contest scheduled for January 10 at home against Love Christian. Following that game, the Eagles Varsity will have a series of away games, returning to their home gym at the end of next month.
