“After the first five minutes, we finally settled down and started to play,” Pleasant Home head coach Troy Turman said. “We are finally figuring out what makes us tick and go. Since the Red Level tournament we have started to figure that out. Now, we are working on becoming more consistent. We are a good team and I think that our best ball is still in front of us. We are starting to look like a hungry team. We just have to keep working.”

Pleasant Home also won the B-team contest as a last second shot lifted the Eagles to a 34-32 win.

Pleasant Home returns to action tonight as the host the Florala Wildcats for an area battle.
