In the battle of the Eagles between Hennessey and Watonga, Hennessey boys came out on top defeating Watonga 84-52. It was a brilliant performance by Hennessey who lived up to their billing as one of the best teams in Class 2A.
Former CTB Sports Allstar’s James Sims and Jael Torres were incredible with James Sims scoring 24 points in only 3 quarters of action while Torres had 18 points and several rebounds. Hennessey kept the pressure up with their patented high-octane style of play. Watonga often tried to match Hennessey’s pace instead of slowing the game down playing right into Hennessey’s wheelhouse.
Ultimately the Watonga Eagles were unable to keep up and fell behind early.
