On Wednesday, December 11, the Eagles hosted the Harper Cardinals. The gym was filled to capacity with fans. Some might say that this is the most school spirit that Lindblom basketball has seen since the 2010’s Basketball team that captured a Sectional Championship. The Chicago Sun-Times had picked the Cardinals to finish conference play as the number one team and the Lindblom Eagles as dead last. There was a sense that the Eagles had something to prove with the amount focus on their faces.
Their passes were crisp, their cuts to the basket were hard and most of all they played with such intensity on defense to hold the Cardinals to 37 points. The Eagles took an early lead in the first quarter and never looked back and captured a 47-37 victory over the Cardinals. Senior Guards Mike Charles led the Eagles with 22 points. when asked about the game he responded “ It feels good to get a win in our house in front of our fans”.
The Eagles were able to capture another win in the Nest last night over the Robeson high school. The Eagles lead from start to finish. The final score was 44-66, the Eagles improve their conference play record to 2-1. The next home game for the Eagles will be on Friday December 20, 2013 against Philips Wildcats.
