With a playoff win on the line, Dalton rose to the challenge on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Memorial Red Devils as they made off with a 62-40 victory. The Bulldogs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine matches by 22 points or more this season.

Several Red Devils players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Jared Colon, who shot 50% from the field on his way to 16 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Josue Rodriguez, who posted nine points and six assists.

Dalton is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.1 points over those games. Memorial's loss ended a seven-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 21-5.

Looking ahead, Dalton will face off against Kirtland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Kirtland comes in on five and Dalton on six. Memorial does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
