Basketball Recap: Crook County Skates Past Phoenix with Ease

Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Crook County walked away with it. They took their contest on Saturday with ease, bagging a 64-25 win over the Phoenix Pirates. Given the Cowboys' advantage in MaxPreps' Oregon basketball rankings (they are ranked 34th, while the Pirates are ranked 89th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Crook County is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.3 points over those games. Phoenix's loss dropped their record down to 17-11.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Crook County beat Phoenix by a score of 64-25 later that day.
