It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but McHenry had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the DeKalb Barbs 41-8. Considering the Warriors have won six matchups by more than 32 points this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

McHenry's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Addison Hoffman, who picked up 91 receiving yards and one TD, and also rushed for 60 yards and one touchdown. That's the most rushing yards Hoffman has posted since back in September. Danica McCarthy also helped out with an impressive 85 receiving yards.

Another reason for the win was McHenry's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, McCarthy was the leader with two. Brianna Amedio got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.

McHenry has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 31.3 points over those games. As for DeKalb, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-6.

As of now, neither McHenry nor the Barbs have any future games scheduled.
