When Oakwood coach Steve Smith called for subs, Eisendrath pleaded a case to finish the quarter, telling his coach, “I’m good.”Both players checked back in to start the fourth and didn’t miss a beat, playing the rest of the way to lead Oakwood past visiting Valley View in an 81-74 playoff victory in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3A playoffs Friday night.
“We try and make sure our practices are very intentional,” said Smith, who also serves as an assistant coach for the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. “High-paced as much as possible to try and to emulate a game situation.” Oakwood started its season 0-4, taking losses to programs like Maranatha and Agoura in that stretch, both of which went on to win their respective leagues this season. The Owls also played Windward, St. Anthony, Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks, Gardena Serra, and Saugus this year. All teams in much higher divisions.
