MURRAY 77, CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP 34
The Eagles of Christian Fellowship traveled to Murray High School to take on the Tigers in a rematch after their 101-61 loss during the All “A” Classic. Unfortunately, this matchup had a similar result, seeing the Eagles fall 77-34. Due to Murray’s competitive defense, the Eagles took more outside shots instead of driving into the paint for an easier basket, and it cost them, shooting 38% from beyond the arc. Though the Eagles fought hard at every turn, they took the loss and dropped 4-11.
Freshman Elijah Grigg led the Eagles in scoring with 16, followed by sophomore Dawson Hicks with six points and freshman Daxton Kite with five points.

MARSHALL COUNTY 79, CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP 49
The Eagles hosted their cross-road rivals on Tuesday night, playing the Marshall County Marshals and taking a 79-49 loss, falling in district standings 0-4.
A strong start, Dunning came out of the gate with a 3-pointer, just 1/4 of his 3-pointers for the night.

The Marshals came out shooting in the second half, and the Eagles quickly fell further behind, trailing with a 33-point deficit entering the fourth quarter. Despite an 18-point final quarter for the Eagles and making aggressive moves on the court, the Marshals took the victory, leading by 30-points to win.
