West Deptford Boys' Basketball Rally Falls Short
The Eagles came up just a few points shy in a bid for their seventh win of the season against Sterling.
A late comeback bid came just a few points short for the boys’ basketball team, as they tried to get their seventh win of the season and top last year’s total against Sterling Thursday night.
