Basketball Recap: Rib Lake Takes Down Winter in a Playoff Battle

It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Rib Lake had no problem doing just that on Friday. They beat the Winter Warriors by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 62-24. The Redmen have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 matches by 31 points or more this season.

Rib Lake is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 27.0 points on average over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Winter and nudges their season record down to 15-10.

Rib Lake has already played their next game (against South Shore), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Winter does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
