They aren’t very tall and they don’t look very imposing, but all the Eisenhower Eagles (28-5) do is keeping winning. They won their second consecutive 2A championship with a 52-43 victory over Pasadena.

Alex Varner scored 17 points and Kirby Gardner added 15 points. Pasadena (24-7) briefly took a 39-38 lead in the fourth quarter after a three-point play by Todd Lewis. But Eisenhower regained the lead on a dunk from Devin Garner, then made clutch free throws in the end.

Lewis, a junior, was terrific for Pasadena, scoring 21 points.
