It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Coral Reef had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They took down the Ferguson Falcons 74-58. Given the Barracudas' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 255th, while the Falcons are ranked 529th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
