HUGE matchup Friday in Beaver. Winner possibly controls SOC until these two play again. This will be a game not to miss. Thoughts/ Predictions?

Same scenario as last season, the two games these teams play will decide the league. The title is basically on the line Friday boys get the most you can out of practice this week and get em on Friday..GO EAGLES

GOOOOOOOOO Titans . We have upped our game a couple notches since last year . Hopefully it pays off. should be a great one .

[beaverlover]

This is a great early season matchup.. hopefully Eastern can bounce back from a tough loss against a good oak hill team. ND starting the season with 2 good wins. Eagles need to protect home floor.


GO EAGLES!!!

As a Eagle fan I must say lets go Eagle's; However if Coach Fitch tries to slow this one down late in the game I will take the Titans by 5. Worst thing you can do is take a team out of there rythem. Go Eagles!!!

Titans need to limit their turnovers this evening, and force Eastern to force shots. I'll take the Titans by 8 tonight.

Huge game for both teams. Notre Dame is supposed to have one of the best teams in the area. Both games last season were down to the wire. This one will likely be another classic. I will take the Eagles by 2 at home if they limit turnovers and play under control and as JS7_22 stated not force shots as ND will want them to do. Eagles should play fast, but smart. Winner of this game will be in the driver seat for the league title.

Go Eagles!

Titans shot 35-40 % from thre they win, Titans shoot 20-25 % from three its a tough road to get a W . I hope we shoot 45 % from three and get spared a last second affair .

Thank you for the updates photo_electric_guy.

Congrats to Notre Dame! The Titans go into the Eagle's Nest and snatch a conference win from the Eagles. Wow.....two losses in a row at home! Although they were against quality opponents, hopefully the Eagles will get fired up and remember the stinging sensation of what this feels like and come back strong and not allow this to effect them this early in the season. Hold your heads up Eagles.....get re-focused, knock the dirt off, sharpen your talons and come back strong!

The SOC I race will definitely be interesting this year and now the Eagles must sink their claws in from here on out or it could get away from them. I don't foresee this and sometimes it is a good thing for teams to get humbled following a Regional Runner-Up season. The Titans have continued to build off last years success and appear to be in the drivers seat. However, East beat Symmes Valley tonight and will have something to say about who gets the hardware. Once again, congrats to Notre Dame. Hopefully my Eagles can repay the favor in the next game.

Do you have any stats from the game photo_electric_guy?

[ManitouDan]

well played game between two well coached teams. Lands is a joy to watch . Ogg down low for the Titans was huge ... The " big Cat " has upped his game and is a real difference maker ... Lands seemed to favor his shoulder late in the game , hope he is Ok .

[Lightle04]

It was a good game hats off to Notre Dame .

[Hoggy]

It was a good game hats off to Notre Dame .

How are you doing Mr. Lightle....if you get a chance, would you post some stats for the game?

[Karma2]

Great win for the Titans and a very well played game by both teams.....wish I could say something positive about the officiating. Not very good for a game this big..........questionable calls against both teams. Good Luck Titans @ Minford.

[js7_22]

A great win for the Titans indeed. I felt like Eastern shot the ball well all night but the run Notre Dame had was just too much for Eastern to overcome. You could see Eastern players arguing with each other as they headed to the bench for a timeout. You must limit the runs teams have and Eastern wasn't able to do so. They did however limit Lewis to a few points which kept the game close. Rebounding has been a strong part in ND's game but lacked in this game.

It's a great win none the less and if the Titans hit on all cylinders good luck beating them, they make adjustments well.

Question is though, Lands hurt his shoulder in the final minutes of the game and had to come out with 45 sec left in the game after contact on a loose ball (believe it's the shoulder he had surgery on), what does Eastern do? Keep him out and let him heal or is it that serious?
