WILMINGTON — East Bladen High followed up on its Saturday championship at the UNCP tournament with six games over the course of two days early this week in Wilmington.

“It was a pretty tiring few days,” said Eagles coach Ken Cross.

On Monday, East Bladen went 2-1 — with a 55-25 win over Union High, a 62-33 win over Coastal Christian and a 62-49 loss to East Carteret High.

“We ran out of gas in the third game,” Cross said. “They were tired from all those games at UNCP, but East Carteret was pretty good.”

On Tuesday, the Eagles played another three games and went 1-2 — losing by a 53-38 margin to White Oak High, dropping a 45-28 verdict to Pinecrest High and then beating Topsail High, 58-28.

“We were just plain tired, and we couldn’t score in those first two games,” said Cross. “Alex (Stephens) had a good last game and there were some other bright spots. I also liked what I saw as far as the substitutions I could make.

“But we have a long way to go,” he added.
