It's playoff time, and Cliff had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the Gateway Christian Warriors 40-17 on Friday. The Cowboys/Cowgirls have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 contests by 22 points or more this season.

Cliff is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That somehow still isn't as good as their 19-4 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Gateway Christian and nudges their season record down to 13-10.

Looking ahead, Cliff will challenge Melrose at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Melrose will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something Cliff surely won't give up without a fight. Gateway Christian does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
