Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Warrensville Heights walked away with it. They really took it to the Orange Lions for the full four quarters, racking up a 62-27 victory. The Tigers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Despite the loss, Orange still got an impressive performance from Alex McCulloch, who posted 11 points. That was a full 40.7% of Orange's points, marking the third time in a row McCulloch has put up more than a third of the team's points.

Warrensville Heights has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.7 points over those games. Orange's defeat dropped their record down to 11-13.

Looking ahead, Warrensville Heights will take on Marlington at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Marlington's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three contests. Orange does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
