It was no shocker how disappointed Brentwood’s players and coaches were last week when they suffered a 16-point defeat at the hands of Crossroads in their Gold Coast League opener. Adding to this, former Brentwood player Shalen Sheppard has caused the most damage.
“I was upset,” Brentwood center Ethan Hill said.
So Tuesday’s road game at Windward would reveal whether the Eagles learned their lesson. And they did, clawing back a 68-60 win. Augie Sugarman made five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points. Hill, who plays like he should be a tight end for an NFL team, finished with 18 points on nine-of-13 shooting. Ryan Howard and AJ Okoh each had 12 points.

Asher Haloossim made four 3-pointers in the first quarter and finished with 18 points, but after that the Wildcats (15-7, 1-1) struggled from 3-point range.
“It’s a huge win,” Hill said. “We learned a lot.
