Like most games during this first week of play the Akins Eagles and Copperas Cove Bulldawgs came in not expecting much. These non-conference games give each coach an opportunity to see any new varsity players as well as what needs to be worked on as the season progresses. The game between the Eagles and Bulldawgs began a little slow offensively. It appeared there was a lot of rust that needed to be polished off in the first quarter, the Eagles managed only 9 points while the Bull Dawgs put up 12 of their own. Once some of that rust was worked out the offenses took off with each team trading basket and making for a very exciting second quarter. The Eagles manged to put up 20 points while the Dawgs put up 22 and taking the lead into the end of the first half 29 to 34.
The third quarter started slow with both offenses not really sure who was supposed to be shooting the ball. The Eagles managed only 15 point to the Dawgs 13 and at the end of three, Copperas Cove lead 47 to 44 and Akins was left looking for answers. The answers came in the fourth quarter for the Akins Eagles, putting together an offensive run for 22 points and putting up a defensive stance holding Copperas Cove to only 15. In the end the Akins Eagles were able to hold off the Copperas Cove Bull Dawgs winning the game 66 to 62.
