Despite making 50 percent of its shots and outrebounding its opponent, Ozarks dropped a 86-72 decision against Manchester (Ind.) Saturday in Oglethorpe's Holiday Inn Express and Suites Tournament. Manchester benefitted from hitting eight three-pointers in the first half to hold a 42-27 margin at the break. The Eagles held the lead at the 13:26 mark of the first half on Joey Hall's jump shot, but couldn't sustain it as Manchester scored ten straight points before Ozarks scored again.
