Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Bethlehem Central walked away with it. They walked away with a 69-61 victory over the Columbia Blue Devils on Tuesday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 228th, while the Blue Devils are ranked 500th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Bethlehem Central's record is now 11-9. As for Columbia, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-16 record this season.

Bethlehem Central will face off against Amsterdam at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Columbia does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
