There was no sugarcoating how disappointed Brentwood players and coaches felt last week in suffering a 16-point drubbing by Crossroads in their Gold Coast League opener. Adding to that, the player inflicting the most damage was former Brentwood standout Shalen Sheppard.
“I was mad,” Brentwood center Ethan Hill said.
So Tuesday’s road game at Windward would reveal if the Eagles had learned some lessons. And they did, getting a bounce back 68-60 win. Augie Sugarman made five threes and finished with 17 points. Hill, who plays like he should be a tight end for an NFL team, bulled his way around for 18 points, making nine of 13 shots. Ryan Howard and AJ Okoh had 12 points apiece.
Brentwood improved to 19-2. Coach Ryan Bailey thought his players came in overconfident against Crossroads. On Tuesday, the Eagles did a good job containing Davey Harris, who finished with 19 points. Asher Haloossim made four threes in the first quarter and finished with 18 points, but after that, the Wildcats (15-7, 1-1) struggled from three-point range.
“This is a huge bounce-back win,” Hill said. “We learned a lot.”
