They are unselfish and disciplined and well coached.
“This is a great group of guys and coach Callison makes it fun to play for him. Each of us knows what are role is on the team and we try are best for each other and coach,” Doltyn Lane said.

Great pressure by Ty Sparks, Doltyn Lane and Jentry James and shooting by Gabe Callison, R R’eon Morrow, James and Keaton Parish ,who fouled out in the third period.
“Last night was a great win for our program. We continue to improve in the areas that matter. One of my biggest concerns coming into this season was, would we be able to win close games. Could we beat people that we weren’t supposed to beat? And over the last seven games we’ve had a couple of chances to prove that we can. I couldn’t be prouder of our guys. All of our guys played great but Jentry James is playing great. He came up with big shot after big shot again last night. Ty did a great job defensively and had a couple of huge rebounds and buckets late. We’re gritty and this was a true team effort. Everyone contributed,” Eufaula head coach Grant Callison said.
Jentry James led Eufaula with 18 points, Morrow 11 points, Parish nine points, Callison eight points and Sparks added seven points.
