Eastern 64 J'town 61 (LIT)

[The Scribe]

Eastern, ranked 15th in this week's BGP poll, pulls the mild upset over ninth ranked Jefferstontown in the first round of the LIT.

Eastern is the real deal, the quickest team we've played all year by far.

[Bird Man]

First a runner-up in the 5/3, now an upset over J-Town in the LIT. The Eagles are starting to have a memorable season.

This was a very good game and Eastern played about as well as they could have played. They are a very good team and a huge threat in the tough 7th region. It is really ashame that these two teams met in the 1st round and is really a joke and a slap in the face to both schools. They seeded the tournament based on the first likenhous ratings which were a joke which made Jtown a 4 seed in this tournament and Eastern a 13th seed which is a joke... Jtown should have been playing Moore,Manual, or St. X in the 1st round and not Eastern. They got the ratings right in the new poll this week but after the tournament was already seeded but anyways this was a very good game with two of the best teams in the 7th region going at it and also now with the realigment they are in the same district as well so will play at least 3 times and maybe 4.

Jason Buckner is one of the most impressive players I have seen this year, and his supporting cast is not full of stiffs either, I especially like LaBrandon Manning, congrats to the Eagles, and good luck.

I think his first name is Robert but whatever the case is he is a good player. The kids around him are not great but they can do some things that allow Buckner to really benefit fron his abilities. I know Eastern has a Slaughter on their team, is he any relation to Shelby's Slaughter? Wasn't it Eastern vs. Shelby in the Fifth Third Finals?
