Eastland Shootout A Success

By Craig Lang

Prairie Advocate Sports

On a cold and snowy Saturday, ten teams met at EHS in Lanark for the 4th Annual Eastland Shootout.

The day’s games began with the Warren Warriors meeting the Fulton Unity Knights. The Knights couldn’t seem to buy a bucket as the Warriors cruised to the 48-26 victory in the opening game.

Next up was the Eastland Lady Cougars facing the Milledgeville Lady Missiles. The story was much the same for Milledgeville as Eastland jumped out to the twenty three to four first quarter lead and rolled to the 51-29 win.

The third game of the day saw the first close game as the Annawan Braves took on the Pearl City Wolves. The game was back and forth with the Braves finally pulling out the six point 56-50 victory.

Game four pitted the Erie Cardinals against the West Chicago Wildcats. The Wildcats managed to hold off the Cardinals in the final quarter to take the 61-48 win.

The night’s finale saw the Forreston Cardinals take on the host Eastland Cougars. Much like the first two games, Eastland couldn’t seem to buy a basket as the Cardinals cruised to the lopsided 6-33 win.
