“We've got some time off before league so we plan to work on continuing to get bet- ter on both ends of the court. Offensively being able to adapt quickly to a change in defense with out losing a pos- session and on the defensive end being able to change de- fensive on teams,” Woods said. “We've played a lot of games this month so I want to make sure our guys all rest and re- cover for the next part of our season.”
The Eagles will also have a few players become eligible to play after transferring to Im- manuel in the summer.
One of those players is former Reedley High standout Jordan Rodriguez.
“Our guys coming in will definitely help us with depth and being able to do more on the offensive and defensive ends,” Woods said. “Also I we'll be able to try different combinations and put guys in different positions hoping to cause mismatches.”
