Monday night, junior Jordan Vincent entered the Eisenhower locker room at halftime looking for answers.
Eisenhower trailed Valley Center 30-21 on the Hornets’ senior night. The Tigers couldn’t break through the confusing zone defense, and Vincent, one of Kansas’ better players, was mostly held in check. For guidance, he turned to a former Wichita State Shocker and that player’s mentor.
Eisenhower coach Steve Blue, first-year assistant Zach Bush and the rest of the coaching staff went to work. After the break, the Tigers went on a 24-1 run and pulled out a 69-53 road win to maintain a top 10 seed in Class 5A West.
