It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Beaumont United had no problem doing just that on Friday. They walked away with a 47-38 victory over the Lake Creek Lions. Given the Timberwolves' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 61st, while the Lions are ranked 331st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Lake Creek's defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Axel Anderson, who went 6-for-12 to rack up 16 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jeremiah Mcshan, who posted eight points and three blocks.
Beaumont United has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.5 points over those games. Lake Creek's loss dropped their record down to 19-17.
Coming up, Beaumont United will challenge Weiss on Monday. Weiss will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something Beaumont United surely won't give up without a fight. Lake Creek does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
