Basketball Recap: Belle Plaine Takes Down Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial in a Playoff Battle

It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Belle Plaine had no problem doing just that on Monday. They strolled past the Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial Knights with points to spare, taking the game 74-60. That's more bragging rights for the Tigers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Belle Plaine has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-16 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 68.4 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial and nudges their season record down to 6-18.

As of now, neither Belle Plaine nor Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial have any future games scheduled.
