EAGLE HOOPS
2003 State Champions / 2004 State Runner-up
Coach Shawn Randel became the only coach in Colorado Prep history to win two state championships on the same night. In 2003 he coached both the boy's and girl's Eads Eagles basketball teams to state championships. The photo is a reproduction of the large image that hangs in the Eads gymnasium reminding future players of what can be achieved with hard work and lots of practice. FRONT: K. Gooden, Mgr., T. Gooden, M. Koch, R. Berry, T. Richardson, D. Weeks, J. Watts. MIDDLE: T.J. Watts, D. Barnett, St. Gilmore, K. Gilmore, M. Gilmore, L. Kraft, D. Gilmore, Mgr. STANDING: Coach Billy Koehler (girl's asst.), B. Peck, A. Saffer, A. Hadley, C. Gibbs, R. Trosper, B. Peck, Coach Randel, J. Richards, B. Laird, K. Sicklebower, M. Philpy, A. Uhland, A. Voss, J. Barnett, Mgr., Coach Lane Gooden (boy's asst.)
 
Coach Randel's boys returned to the state championship game in 2004 and tried to defend their crown from a year ago. Not even expected to make it back to the state tournament after losing the bulk of the 2003 team to graduation, the feisty Eagles managed to return but could not overcome the dominance of 6'7 Jake Trahern and the Kit Carson Wildcats. Eads and Kit Carson, only 20 miles distance from each other, have competed back and forth for years, but this would be the year that Kit Carson finally got their state crown. Pictured with the state runner-up trophy is (Front) S. Gilmore, M. Gilmore, A. Saffer (Back) J. Crow, T. Watts, D. Barnett, D. Shotton, J. Buck, A. Voss, L. Kraft, Coach Shawn Randel

HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT ACTION
Seniors Dain Barnett (top) and Marcus Gilmore (bottom) battle against nemisis McClave during Semifinal action. Eads dropped the contest by five points and went on to win the third place trophy. McClave would win the championship over Granada. Gilmore averaged 26 points in the tournament
 
EADS vs GRANADA
Eads grabbed a big conference win over the Bobcats on Sat. at home. Ryan Pelton fouls Demetrius Gilmore after the three and Dain Barnett brings the ball into point guard Kenan Gooden during fast-paced action. Marcus Gilmore scored a remarkable 42 points.
 
EADS vs KIT CARSON
This was a huge conference matchup between the two state finalists from a year ago. Eads got the advantage by ten, 55-45, behind 20 points and 15 rebounds from senior Marcus Gilmore
 
EADS BEATS CW IN OT
The six-year home winning streak nearly came to a halt on Friday night until Eads managed to pull out an exciting 65-56 OT win over 2A Cheyenne Wells. The win streak started in 1999.
 

EADS WINS DISTRICT 2 CHAMPIONSHIP

It was a repeat of last year's District 2 championship between Kit Carson & Eads with Eads getting this one, 53-41. Eads will play Manzanola in the state qualifying regionals on Sat.

2005 District 2 champions from left to right: Drew Koch, Trice Watts, Jacob Buck, Wes Richardson, Marcus Gilmore, Adam Saffer, Dain Barnett, T.J. Watts, Demetrius Gilmore, Kenan Gooden   District 2 championship action shows Kit Carson's Damon Dechant going for a block against a drive by Eads' Kenan Gooden. Gooden's penetration helped Eads slip by a very solid Wildcat team, 53-41, at the Lamar Community Building on Saturday.
 

EADS HEADS TO STATE FOR 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR!

The Eagles qualified for the 1A state tournament on Saturday by slipping by the District Runnerup Manzanola by a 50-33 margin. Eads is seeded 6th at state.

The Eagles came out ice cold against Manzanola and struggled any offense except from the free throw line. They would hit 10 of 13 down the stretch to win. Post Adam Saffer is pictured here hitting his second charity shot in the final minutes of the contest. Saffer was a huge influence for Eads on the boards. Eads now faces Community Christian in the quarterfinal round of the 1A tournament   REGIONAL CHAMPIONS: Eads qualified for the 1A state tournament for the fourth year in a row with the seniors going all four years of their high school career. Pictured with the regional tournament trophy is (FRONT) Drew Koch, Dain Barnett, Kenan Gooden (BACK) Trice Watts, Adam Saffer, Wes Richardson, Jacob Buck, Marcus Gilmore, T.J. Watts, and Demetrius Gilmore.
