Landon Horsey leads fourth quarter surge by Eagles for 61-55 win over Indians By Kevin Phillips CHESAPEAKE CITY-Bohemia Manor trailed visiting North East by three points late in the third quarter when Landon Horsey tallied his first points of the game on a three-pointer to tie the score. That basket sparked Horsey as he scored 19 of the Eagles last 27 points to lead Bohemia Manor past the Indians for a 61-55 victory Thursday night in UCBAC Susquehanna Division boys’ basketball action.

Bo Manor opened the final quarter on a 18-7 run, which was powered by five three-pointers during the surge, and Horsey made three of those en route to 12 fourth quarter points. For the game, the Ea-
gles finished with 11 made “That was the difference three-pointers, and that in the game. We shot 20 was an improvement from percent, 19 percent, and we the previous five games, have been terrible. I have an where they have struggled continued on A-4 to score.
