It’s been a common occurrence in recent years.
Kayla Eberz and Faith Watson have faced off against each other on a basketball court more times than either freshman could count but their matchup on Sunday was one both could take plenty of positives from. Eberz, off to a stellar start at Archbishop Carroll, and Watson, who has picked up her play lately on a deep Friends Central team, were both efficient and effective as their teams met at the CoBL Girls’ Winter Classic.
Thanks to 30 points from Eberz, it was Carroll topping Watson and her 20-point, 11-rebound double-double in a very competitive 60-57 game.
“We’ve played her so many times and she’s gotten so much better,” Eberz said. “It definitely motivates you. You get, not angry, but you’re telling yourself ‘let’s go, you have to bring it.’”
