It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Rocky Grove had no problem doing just that on Friday. Everything went their way against the Sharpsville Blue Devils as they made off with a 60-39 win. The Orioles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Noah Baughman was his usual excellent self, going 11-for-14 en route to 24 points and three steals. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in shooting accuracy (79%). Aiden Focht was another key player, putting up ten points and four steals.

Rocky Grove is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.4 points over those games. Sharpsville's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-12.

As of now, neither Rocky Grove nor Sharpsville have any future games scheduled.
