The Forestville Eagles bounced back in a big way as they eventually levered away from the enthusiastic energetic Eastern Mavericks 84-121 at the Shooting Gallery.

Daniel Johnson got the Eagles going early to finish with a huge bacon double double of 21 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists, Brandon Brine double doubled as well for 23 points and 12 rebounds while Fiston Ipassou dropped 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
