It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but McCool Junction had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They blew past the Bancroft-Rosalie Panthers 71-49. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 matches by 22 points or more this season.

McCool Junction was led to victory by Mapieu Kouchinin and Carson Mcdonald. Kouchinin almost dropped a double-double with 25 points and nine boards, while Mcdonald dropped a triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and ten assists. That's the most points Kouchinin has posted since back in January. Another player making a difference was Bryson Plock, who earned 11 points.

McCool Junction is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-6 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Bancroft-Rosalie and nudges their season record down to 22-6.

As of now, neither McCool Junction nor Bancroft-Rosalie have any future games scheduled.
