Two fired up fan bases and basketball teams made their way to Wills Point Feb. 7 for the second meeting of the year between the Tigers and Canton Eagles.
The second meeting between the two long term rivals finished in a similar fashion as the first, with Wills Point pulling way late en route to a 57-41 win over Canton.
The margin between Canton and Wills Point was razor thin in the first half as the Eagles took a 10-9 lead after eight minutes of play.
Tyler James and Doug Sheldon combined for eight points in the second quarter, offsetting an eight-point outburst by Canton's Cameron Sullivan to keep the margin at 22-21 in favor of the Eagles heading into the half.
