Bobst graduated.
Anyone have any dates/times for summer scrimmages or shootouts.

Not to sound mean or racist or anything like that..
But I thought Bobst was the little black kid, shooter. I thought he was freshman?

Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
Bobst was a short, white stocky kid that played in the post. The freshman you are talking about was Thacker. From what I ahve heard, he is playing very well and will be a factor next season
Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
Thacker, yes. That's just a confusion on my part. I know both of them now actually. I just had names confused.

The Eagles have several young guards who have a lot of upside, Thacker being one of them along with a tremendous upcoming Freshman group. The future is very bright out in Beaver

Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
The boys are working hard can't wait to see them play this summer and see what style of ball they play. This years team is going to be super fast. And can score from anywhere.
Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
I have seen those boys play and they are fun to watch. They seem to have a busy summer schedule with team camp, shootouts and summer league..........almost too busy.

Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
The Eagles might have a little trouble scoring inside. If Coach Fitch can take advantage of the speed they have and get a little more offense in transition that won't be an issue. I'm not to familiar with the summer schedule PJ runs, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary. They probably go 5 nights a week between open gym,the jackson summer league and shootouts. They might have a couple 6day weeks if you count saturday shootouts. Does anyone know where they are going to camp this year?
Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
So far this summer the boys are playing pretty well . They went 3-0 tonight at Jackson and Lands didn't play . There comeing along pretty well.

Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
It might be really worth a trip when they play Minford, I think I'll make the trip out for that one, anyone have the schedule to know when they will play?
Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
They held there own . Showed improvement on "d" which is important. They can score from anywhere with Lands,Lightle,Fultz,and Thacker in the back court rotation and the front court is really working hard in the paint Pickett,Murrphy,Freemontand,Dyke. There going to be fun to watch.

Brandon Murphy is a player that would help the Eagles tremendously if he develops a little more this summer. He stepped up in several games this past season with solid defense and rebounding with Billy Lykins on the bench in foul trouble. If the coaching staff can polish his post game this summer he could become a huge contributor in the low post and that will let Pickett stay in the high post where he is very effective.
Re: Eastern Eagles 2012-2013
I believe Eastern plays Minford this Tuesday. Not sure of the time though. From what I have been told Eastern needs to improve their defense. It will be interesting to watch Rowe guard Lightle. I think Rowe will win that battle. Has the coach been mixing up the starting line-up to see what five work the best with each other?
