Games are sometimes won off the court. Avon’s hard-fought 59-46 win at North Ridgeville on Dec. 30 is the latest example, as a team retreat and a halftime speech spurred a strong second half to pull away. After getting back late the night prior from their annual retreat, the good vibes translated onto the court for the Eagles (4-2, 1-2 SWC) as they controlled most of the first half.�However, North Ridgeville (6-3, 1-2 SWC) stormed back with a 7-0 run in 1:38 and built a 26-23 halftime lead. Thanks to Shane Carty, the Eagles...
