Basketball Recap: Hillsboro Falls Short of Eleva-Strum in the Playoffs

It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Hillsboro can now relate to. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 42-25 to the Eleva-Strum Cardinals, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 290th, while the Cardinals are ranked 74th).

Hillsboro has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 16-10 record this season. The victory (which was Eleva-Strum's eighth in a row) raised their record to 20-6.

Hillsboro does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Eleva-Strum has already played their next contest (against Kickapoo), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
