RESERVE — The Reserve Christian Eagles won two this week, finishing their regular season at home Tuesday against Grand Isle with a 107-56 victory and starting their playoff stint in the same fashion with a victory against the Louisiana School of the Deaf on Thursday also at home.

Tuesday night was Senior Night for the Eagles as coach Byrd started the senior boys to honor their last regular season game as Eagles. RCS started off early taking a 23-10 lead to start the second quarter.

Eagles superstar Tweety Carter checked in off the bench in the second wasting no time hitting the first three of the quarter on the way to his 21 points. Eagles senior forward Justin Porter had a big night leading all scorers with 30 points and a thunderous two- handed slam off the alley-oop pass from Kevin &#8220Beau” Branch to end the half at 55-22.

The second half was more of the same from the Eagles as they outscored the Trojans 34-15 in the third quarter before RCS Coach Timmy Byrd put his seniors back in to start the fourth.
