On Friday night, the Eagles cruised to an 80-35 victory over Flinthills in the Oswego Sub-state.

Truman Bailey led Olpe with 22 points.
Olpe improved to 19-2 and will play Colony-Crest, who defeated Madison, 43-42. The Bulldogs led by as many as 12 in the first half. The Lancers took the lead on three different occasions in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning 3-pointer with two seconds remaining.
Madison coach Alex McNeal says the Bulldogs had their opportunities.
Lane Darbo led Madison with 14 points.
The Bulldogs end their season with a 12-10 record.
