It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Rib Lake had no problem doing just that on Friday. They came out on top against the Flambeau Falcons by a score of 76-68. Given the Redmen's advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 168th, while the Falcons are ranked 396th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
When it comes to explaining why Flambeau lost, don't look at Eli Hruby. Despite the final result, he shot 53% from the field to rack up 18 points in addition to seven boards and four steals. That's the most steals Hruby has posted since back in January. Another player making a difference was Isaac Brown, who went 7-for-15 en route to 16 points and seven rebounds.
Rib Lake has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.6 points over those games. Flambeau's defeat dropped their record down to 18-7.
Rib Lake didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 71-50 win against Mellen on the 8th. Flambeau does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
