Eagles Fall Just Short @ CCCB

Moberly, MO -- January 10, 2026

Emmaus University fell just short in a hard-fought road contest, dropping an 81–75 decision to CCCB.

The Eagles came out strong offensively, putting up 40 first-half points and staying neck-and-neck with Central Christian, who led 41–40 at the break. Emmaus continued to battle in the second half but was unable to overcome Central Christian's efficient shooting and rebounding down the stretch.

The score was 75-75 with about 3:27 left in the game after Ethan Cox made a shot, but the Eagles couldn't capitalize on offensive rebounds in the last minutes of the game.

Ethan Cox led the Eagles with a game-high and career-high 22 points, knocking down 9-of-9 free throws while adding four rebounds. David Rothweiler and Colyer Wingfield each scored 11 points, with Rothweiler also pulling down six rebounds. Nathaniel Wagner chipped in nine points and six boards, while Eli Mackey contributed eight points and seven rebounds.

Emmaus struggled from beyond the arc, shooting 6-for-28 from three-point range, but stayed competitive by converting 23-of-26 (88.5%) free throws. Despite the loss, the Eagles showed resilience throughout and kept the game within reach until the final minutes.

Up Next: The Eagles travel to Missouri to face Ozark and Calvary on Friday, January 16th, at 7:00 PM and Saturday, January 17th, at 3:00 PM, respectively. Come out and support the Eagles as they look to get back on track!
