We have now talked to tough and the team about the lost yesterday against the dough boys. " Man, we had our chances.Too many chances. WE should have capitalized on them. The problems were that Mpatirakis didn't show up until the third; Kruger didn't show up AT ALL; and that we didn't play our best. I know, the players know, and every knows that we should've gone with a 2-3 or a 3-2, double teaming Altimir. He could've gotten less and we could've had the chance to upset them. I know that our road ahead of us is almost easy after the panthers. But I bet the tie-breaker is going to be against the Jets. We need to make a STATMENT. And it starts NOW. Now we talked to Kruger. "I am sorry for my actions that occured yesterday.I didn't do what I needed to do.I had to score, but Altimir is just so good. I think Altimir could last 3 to even 4 more years. All I know is that I WILL make a statment. If I don't...... Bench me." Now w talk to Roche. "I cooled off. I hate the taste of defeat. Especially agaainst an arch rival. Now I have to take into account that I still need to improve on my defense. If not, we won't survive next season against them." Now, the Mountain Eagles will take on an easy opponet, the Oklahoma Clippers. Now they want to score as much points as they can, because they're 4 points behind the Jets. That will be the first tie-breaker if both teams finish the season with a tied record.Bob Jenkins said, "We need to make sure that we beat them by 50+ points. So then, we can have the advantage. And we want to rebound from that loss." The Eagles are now expanding their arena as well, to set up for next season. They want to make sure that they will have enough seats for the fans to come in. ( They already had the problem with the Bode-Diggity Dogs) Now, stay tuned for the latest news as we cover the scores, highlights, interviews, and more with The Eagle, the national newspaper of the Mountain Eagles. This is Matt Davis reporting for The Eagle

WELL,.....MIRACLE!!!!


The Mountain Eagles get their first scrimmage win against a D4 team-RAINES. It was a very exciting matchup with back-and forth action. Three buzzerbeaters. Clutch shots. Some say it was as exciting as a Cup match.Five players with 10+ points. Four of them with 25+ points. Deikis coming in with almost a triple-double. Oh, and the Mountain Eagles had to do it with out and injured James Coleman, fouled out Tivadar Revfi, 4-foul Esen Rabi, 5 to then fouled out Timothy Kruger, non-scoring Jenkins and Koskinas, and with basically only 3 players. Deikis was the player of the game with 27 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assist, a rating of 10.5, and a matchup effecicy rating of 140.0! That is nearly impossible! We spoke to him." Well, I just gave the rock to someone who was open, was at the right place at the right time for rebounding, and shot well. All in all, a day's well work." When the Mountain Eagles were down 10 with about 6 minutes left, everyone thought it was over. They started heading for the door. But then, they started coming back. They were able to get crucial free throws by Koskinas and Rabi. Then, Deikis took over and gave them the lead with 3 minutes left. The coach said, " This shows that we can beat higher league teams. This shows that we never give up, even at the toughest times. This shows that we are serious. This shows a lot of things about us that people don't even know. We battled with the assurance of luck and pride. We played for the team. Then that explains that if we probably fought against the dough boys again, we'll probably beat them." Kruger, with 25 points, said, "I did what I'm supposed to do. Now I have to transfer it to the REAL court." Now the Eagles are expected to have a blowout with the Oklahoma Clippers. They say they want to make it to 50+ point differential, by the end of the game. But now they got a bigger problem; James Coleman is injured for the week. That means he won't be able to play till next Saturday( After this Saturday). Now they don't know if they should buy another center or just ride with Penagos. " I can handle it. It's just 24 extra minutes a week. One week shouldn't hurt." Penagos replied. Stay tuned to hear more about the James Coleman Injury on The Eagle. This is Matt Davis reporting for The Eagle.

Remember that a one week injury can mean anything between 1 and 13 days

Oh, I thought it meant 7 to 10 days. Thanks for the heads-up

Well, one good thing happened in training. When Coleman got injured, Tough switched the main training from inside shot to outside shot. This is what happened.

Outside Shooting for SG

Player 1 popped in Jump Range from Respectable to Strong.

"Well, at least it's better than nothing. If we can get our prospects up a little bit then, we're in great shape.", Tough remarked. Stay tuned for other news at anytime. This is Fredrick Dawkins reporting for The Eagle.

Love the name

Well, thanks. I wanted to name the team Eagles, but I didn't want to cause confusion, so I did the next best Eagle name; narrowed down to four choices, fire eagles, Houston Eagles, Eagle Kings, and Mountain Eagles. For the article, I wanted to make it shorter, so I decided The Eagle would be the best fit; plain, cool, and catchy. Oh, and modern. I heard one person say Eagle is the best bird name, 2nd ravens, and third hawks.

Eagle is definently the right choice

Well, when are you going to start a paper, like me and Troy Valmont? I already have suggestions,like Wolves' times or whatever you think of.

Well, what Tough said was true; Zoran Jakovic dropped in gameshape. He dropped to average beacuse he keeps on getting too many minutes. Tough said, " Now that I see what Refvi can do, and now that, I'm probably going to change the starters for this game, since it's not that important. What's important is staying withen10 the next game; the atlanta panthers." Now the Mountain Eagles now face the Oklahoma Clippers. They're an expected 99% chance of victory. Now Tough said, " I put Moreno in for Coleman, since that was my only option. So now I think we will do good for that, as for the panthers, I hope that Coleman is fine. If not, I'll have to play Penagos." For now, they are training Kruger and Refvi, so that they don't lose valuable training time. They want to do as much as possible, so they can have a little good things happening.Now stay tuned for the upcoming game at 7 against the Clippers. This is David Anderson, reporting for The Eagle.

Very soon I'm still thinking up a name, I want it to be like the laser something,any suggestions?? I am looking forward to it though then us three can have round table full of knowledge right??lol.
