In both games, the coaching staff decided to rest many of their star players, giving a chance for bench players and younger athletes to shine. This strategy helped the team maintain their endurance while providing valuable game experience to the rising stars.

The matchup against Greenwood Christian started off on a slow note. Both teams were feeling each other out, leading to a close score of just 20-16 in favor of Newberry at halftime. That tight score set the stage for an exciting second half.

As the second half rolled around, the Eagles unleashed their offensive power. Graham Evans was a standout player, igniting the crowd with back-to-back three-pointers that sparked a thrilling 6-0 run. The momentum shifted in favor of Newberry, and the energy in the gym was palpable!
Meanwhile, Jody Ray Miles strutted his skills in the low post, helping to stretch the score further. By the end of the game, Miles had contributed a solid 8 points to the scoreboard, while Evans dazzled everyone with a total of 15 points, including five impressive three-point field goals.
As the second half progressed, the Eagles stretched their lead to an impressive 15 points, ultimately winning the game comfortably. This victory not only added another win to their streak but also marked their second win in three matchups against Greenwood Christian this season—sweet revenge for their earlier loss in November!
What’s Next for the Eagles?
Looking ahead, the Newberry Academy Eagles are gearing up for an exciting challenge with two upcoming home games. On January 21, they will face Anderson Christian, followed by a matchup against Richard Winn Academy on January 24.
