DENVER | The Eaglecrest boys basketball team didn’t need a dramatic last-second shot to get another quality victory Monday night. The Raptors — who won a Centennial League thriller against Smoky Hill with Colbey Ross’ buzzer-beating 3-pointer three days earlier — went on to the road to a difficult place to play at Denver East and methodically pulled away in crunch time for an impressive 55-47 victory in a battle of Class 5A powers.
