Basketball Recap: Maryville Red Rebels vs. Halls Red Devils

It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Maryville had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They took their contest with ease, bagging an 81-48 victory over the Halls Red Devils. Given the Red Rebels' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Red Devils are ranked 156th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Maryville was led to victory by Eli Owensby and Jonathan Woodlee. Owensby went 6-for-8 en route to 14 points, while Woodlee shot 55% from the field to rack up 15 points and seven boards. Woodlee is also on a roll when it comes to three-point shooting accuracy, as he's posted one of at least 40% in the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Grant Russell, who posted eight points.

Maryville was working as a unit and finished the game with 13 assists. They are 17-5 when they've passed the ball that well.

Maryville has been performing well recently as they've won 16 of their last 21 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.3 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Halls and nudges their season record down to 13-12.

Coming up, Maryville will square off against Farragut at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Farragut knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Maryville likes a good challenge. Halls does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
