Forest Hills had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the East Surry Cardinals 67-37. The Yellow Jackets have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 21 matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Forest Hills got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Derrianna Mclendon out in front who almost dropped a double-double with 20 points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Azariya Griffin, who dropped a double-double with 13 points and ten boards.

East Surry's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Maggy Sechrist, who dropped a double-double with ten points and 16 rebounds, and Addison Green, who dropped a double-double with 12 points and 12 boards. The dominant performance also gave Sechrist a new career-high in blocks (three).

Forest Hills has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 18 of their last 19 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.4 points over those games. East Surry's loss dropped their record down to 22-7.

Forest Hills didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 55-54 win against Bandys on the 4th. East Surry does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
