The Oak Mountain Eagles had a close shave with Prattville last Thursday night in Montgomery, escaping with only an eight point victory.

The Eagles changed their gameplan Tuesday night and dominated the Lions on defense, winning easily 67-50 and moving to a 24-1 record on the season.

&uot;We played alot more man on man,&uot; Head coach Jerry North said. &uot;They were so deliberate against the zone last time we played, we knew that we couldn’t play that type of defense effectively.&uot;

Tyler Gallimore led the way for the Eagles in scoring with 16 points. Thomas Nordyke added 11 points and Bryant Gardner finished with nine points and four rebounds for Oak Mountain in the win.

&uot;We did a really good job in the first half of defending,&uot; North said. &uot;We got a little sloppy in the second half but kept things under control.&uot;

The Eagles have to regular season games remaining before beginning their run at the school’s first ever 6A state title. Oak Mountain travels to Hueytown on Thursday and hosts Chelsea on Friday night.

North said working to get his players focused on the task ahead.

&uot;They need to get their mindset in the right place,&uot; he said. &uot;We can’t just go into coasting gear at the end of the season.&uot;
