It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Crespi had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Edison Chargers 90-54. Given the Celts' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Chargers are ranked 144th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jayden Xu was a one-man wrecking crew for Crespi as he went 6-for-8 from beyond the arc to rack up 24 points and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Carter Barnes, who went 5-for-11 on his way to 12 points in addition to eight assists and six rebounds.
