It's playoff time, and Bishop Hendricken had no trouble coming through when it counted. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 70-67 win over the Classical Purple on Saturday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Hawks have posted against the Purple since March 13, 2022.

When it comes to explaining why Classical lost, don't look at Eliezer Delbrey. Despite the final result, he posted 36 points. That was a full 53.7% of Classical's points, marking the fourth time in a row Delbrey has earned more than a third of the team's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Abdul Evans, who scored 13 points.

Bishop Hendricken has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.8 points over those games. Classical's defeat dropped their record down to 20-7.

Looking ahead, Bishop Hendricken won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against La Salle Academy at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Both teams are coming into the match red-hot, with La Salle Academy sitting on 15 straight wins and Bishop Hendricken on three. Classical does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
