Hamilton, Wildcats end Eagles' streak
The Eastern Eagles saw their 11-game winning streak come to an end thanks to the shooting of senior guard John Hamilton. Hamilton scored a career-high 31 points, including eight three-pointers. The Eagles were up three in overtime with just over a minute to play when Hamilton put his Wildcats on his shoulders and single-handedly kept their postseason hopes alive.

The Eagles hope to rebound and start another streak Saturday night as they travel to Pocatello to take on the Idaho State Bengals. The Eagles will hope that senior guard Josh Barnard's left heel is good enough to go. Barnard is listed as questionable for Saturday nights game.
