Eagles Roll Over Elysian Fields 48-15

New Diana has a solid third place district spot

NEW DIANA, Jan. 30, 2009 -- New Diana added to the troubles of a struggling Elysian Fields squad Friday, holding the Yellowjackets to single digits in all four quarters on the way to a 48-15 win.

Elysian Fields kept the game close through the first quarter, but New Diana pulled away in the second, and led at the half 21-8.

Fatigue began to show on the undermanned Elysian Fields squad in the second half. Only dressing out five players, the Yellowjackets could only manage 7 points in the second half. Under the Eagle basket, the quick passing of New Diana confounded the Elysian Fields defense, as the Eagles netted 27 points.


Eagle Eric Dixon led all scorers with 17 points, outscoring the entire Elysian Fields team. Elysian Fields player stats were not available.
