PREP BASKETBALL: Sandpoint boys surge in second half, fall just short of Eagle Point
VANCOUVER — After trailing by 14 points at halftime, Sandpoint clawed their way back into the game, but ended up falling by just two points to Eagle Point, a top 10 5A team in Oregon, on the final day of the Fort Vancouver Holiday Tournament at Fort Vancouver High.
Down 27-13 at half, the Bulldogs knew they needed to make some changes … and they certainly did. After coming about a bit lethargic, Sandpoint cut the lead to two points late in the contest but couldn’t convert on three separate chances to tie or take the lead.
“It was really the tale of two halves,” head coach Brain Childs said. “We dug ourselves a hole with 13 points in a half. In the second half, we came out and turned the tables on them. We created turnovers, got out in transition, and were able to get the ball inside to Derrick (Chamberlain) and Emerik (Jones). Parker (Childs) had all 10 of his points in the second half … When we dig ourselves a hole like that … a second half effort like today is about all you can ask for.”
