Cobras slither past Eastside
Council (52) Vs. Eastside (50)
Dec 22, 2012
Council 52, Eastside 50

Council rallied with a huge come-from-behind win to stun Eastside 52-50. The Spartans held a 30-18 lead at halftime, but it wasn’t enough.
“We’ve won in overtime and double overtime this season,” said Council coach Patrick Wade. “As many times as we turn it over we have a lot of practice at coming from behind. That’s one thing about this bunch, they never give up.”
Eastside (1-5) took the lead at 3-2 and never relinquished it until late the game. The Spartans led by as many as 15 points in the first half.
Council (4-4) began to slowly comeback in the second half. They outscored Eastside 14-6 in the third quarter to pull within four points. The Cobras kept battling and tied it three times in the fourth quarter. They finally took the lead 49-47 when Cameron Presley scored on the baseline with 1:23 left to play. Eastside tied it on a spin move in the paint by Ben Yates with just over a minute to play. The Spartans then fouled Justin Mathis who calmly made both free throws. Eastside had a key unforced turnover and then fouled Josh Viers, who made one the foul shots to put the lead at three.
The Spartans got off two shots but neither fell. Austin Buchanan grabbed an offensive rebound for Eastside and was fouled with less than a second remaining. He made the first and intentionally missed the second but an attempted tip to tie the game didn’t go in.
“This is our sixth game in nine days and the guys have really been playing hard,” Wade said. “As we showed tonight, we’re definitely a second half team.”
Viers and Presley led the Cobras with 16 points each. Eastside received a game-high 19 points from Forrest Lunsford.
