Canton’s McGwire Martin fires up a jumper of the Wills Point defense during the second meeting of the season between the Eagles and Tigers. 

The Canton Eagles kept themselves in the conversation as the potential last playoff seed coming out of District 13-4A, splitting games against Wills Point and Emory.

Two fired up fan bases 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.
