Basketball Recap: Crane Medical Piles Up the Points Against the Noble Academy

It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Crane Medical had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They blew past The Noble Academy Griffins 87-47. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 150th in Illinois, while the Griffins are ranked 569th in Illinois), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Crane Medical is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.7 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for The Noble Academy and nudges their season record down to 7-6.

As of now, neither Crane Medical nor The Noble Academy have any future games scheduled.
