BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Juneek Daniels scored a team-high 17 points and Justin Webley nailed a victory-clinching three-pointer late as Eagle Academy Staten Island won its second straight game via a 60-54 non-league decision over host Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Tuesday.
Daniels was one of four players to hit double-digits in points. Javon Jordan added 14 (three treys), Anthony Riley chipped in with 12 points (8 of 11 free throws) and Armani Perez tallied 10 for the Stapleton school (5-8 overall).
Riley and Daniels were also forces on the backboards as they grabbed 13 and 10 rebounds, respectively. Jordan led Eagle with four assists.
Rodney Taylor (game-high 25 points) and Alexander Idris Lawrence (17 points) paced FDR.
Eagle opened the game with a bang as Jordan (eight points), Perez (six points), Riley (five points) and Daniels (four points) helped give the visitors a commanding 23-7 advantage at quarter’s end.

FDR attempted a valiant comeback in the final period behind Taylor and Lawrence (combined 18 points), but Webley’s big three helped the Island squad hang on.
