Civic Memorial and Jersey battled it down to the final minutes of a game in the Jersey Tourney on Friday, but the Lady Eagles prevailed 55-50.
Civic Memorial's Allie Troeckler scored 23 points to guide the Lady Eagles attack. Jersey was led by Lia Roundcount with 19 points; Mackenzie Thurston added 14.
Jersey coach Kevin Strebel said his team simply gave up too many points in the game.

Strebel said he was pleased with the attendance at the games through Friday and said there was a lot of excellent basketball played.
