Today was a great victory for East Valley High School as they won their second game in the playoffs. East Valley began with a 1 point lead in the first quarter, but the opponents kept at it with their game aswell. As they reached the second quarter, it was 35/ 35; a tie for both SOCES [Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies] & EVHS [East Valley High School]. The third quarter began to be intense as both teams began to score points after points and reached multiple ties! During the 4th quarter it seemed as though SOCES was going to win, they kept going at it with  51-48. It seemed as though hope was lost. At the last moments of the fourth quarter it seemed as though SOCES was going to win but EVHS managed to score a few more points and at the last 2 seconds EVHS had already won with 59- 55!! SOCES has not lost a game in their home court for 3 years until today! "Who is crying now?!" said one of the EVHS fans, since last time it was some of OUR players who shed some tears of misery. But now the tables have turned and EVHS continues on striving.
Eddy Escobar along with Jeff, Michael, Max, Andrew, Shaq, Kevin, Manny, Lavondale, Marc, Lisa, and Coach Skedas himself were filled with great joy because of their great victory! And on top of that a few of the players seemed to be shedding some tears because of their win.
NOW IT IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE GAMES: NEXT UP THE SEMI FINALS WHERE EVHS WILL FACE OFF AGAINST THE #1 TEAM (HOME GAME)... THIS GAME WILL BE A GREAT ONE TO WATCH THIS THURSDAY @ 7PM!!!!!
