Coach Bradshaw's soaring Eagles continue in their successful flight

Gary Franklin, Sports Writer

As has become expected of a David Bradshaw coached team, in whatever the sport, the Jac-Cen-Del Eagles continue with winning performances. To date in this winter's basketball season, they have gone 4-1, with their one loss to Class 3A Batesville by 10 points at 72-62. (The Bulldogs were thought early to be invincible, but as invincible goes, Lawrenceburg's Tigers ended that theory with a 5 point victory over them on Batesville's home gym by the score of 74-69 on Friday, December 12.)
Including the Bulldog matchup, the Eagles have outscored their competitors 346-200 over the five games played thus far.
The Eagles traveled to North Decatur HS to battle the hosting Chargers on Friday, December 12, to begin their weekend twin bill.
