In the journey to the championships the Obama Eagles first had to make a stop atAllderdiceHigh Schoolto face the Brashear Bulls in a playoff game. This sudden death match was filled with excitement and great emotion from both teams. The Obama Eagles were on fire! As always DJ Porter, Shane Washington, and Canaan Reid put up points for the team. The Eagles answered to every point Brashear put up, and more. Sadly, we sent the Brashear Bulls packing. The final score was 82 to 63.

Now our Obama Eagles are going to face the Allderdice Dragons on Saturday atPeabodyHigh Schoolin the City Championship game. Our school’s history with Allderdice is known for being a bit of a rivalry. That game will be one for the history books.

 Allderdice has won the last two city championships in a row, and they split with Obama this year.

The game will be held this Saturday at Peabody High, at noon.
