It's playoff time, and Eastland had no trouble coming through when it counted. They claimed a resounding 50-22 win over the Fulton Steamers. The Cougars have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 15 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Eastland has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-4 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 30.5 points. With the defeat, Fulton broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 18-15.

Looking ahead, Eastland will square off against Newman Central Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Newman Central Catholic knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Eastland likes a good challenge. Fulton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
