The Eagles 7/8 Black team reclaimed the State Championship on Sunday besting the pesky Northwest Wildcats in the final game of the 2009 YLM State Tournament.  Both  teams entered the final season tilt as the #1 seeds from their respective districts, with perfect 13 - 0 records.  The East/West battle unfolded as anticipated and it was a grinding chess match for the entire first half.  Thanks to some dandy goal tending, EP found themselves up by a slim one goal margin on the Wildcats.  Some halftime adjustments and an outstanding team effort allowed the Eagles to notch a four goal run to lead 6 - 2 by the end of the third quarter.  A gutsy defensive display and patient offensive strategy allowed the momentum to carry forward onto the fourth quarter.  As the first faint raindrops of the weekend began to fall, the game ended for the newly crowned gold medal winners. 

Congratulations to team members and YLM State Champions:  Brooks Armitage, Sam Gravelle, John Reynolds, Michael Serwa, Jacob Woodring, Nick Bentz, Andrew Knudsen, Josh Angelchik, Dillon Rudrud, Connor Puff, Jason Rademaker, Andrew Enter, Dillon Blesi, Anthony Perkins, Jake Wallace, Chase Monger, Nick Moore, Kyle Thielman, Arik Andreen and Riley Haley.
