It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Holy Innocents Episcopal had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Mount Paran Christian Eagles, posting an 84-42 win. The Golden Bears have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 20 games by 23 points or more this season.

It was another big night for Caleb Wilson, who dropped a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. The match was his third in a row with at least 19 points. Another player making a difference was Devin Hutcherson, who shot 64% from the field en route to 17 points.

Holy Innocents Episcopal was working as a unit and finished the game with 21 assists. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now racked up at least 21 assists in six consecutive contests.

Several Eagles players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Cameron Hewling, who posted ten points and five boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Asher Wills, who earned five points.

Holy Innocents Episcopal has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-4 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 37.5 points. The loss snapped Mount Paran Christian's winning streak at eight games and leaves them with a 20-14 record.
