With a playoff win on the line, Orange rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They secured a 69-63 W over the South Plainfield Tigers. The Tornadoes' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Orange is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.3 points over those games. South Plainfield is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 12-9.

Looking ahead, Orange will face off against Payne Tech on Saturday. Payne Tech knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 18 contests -- so hopefully Orange likes a good challenge. South Plainfield does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
