It's playoff time, and Sterling had no trouble coming through when it counted. They put the hurt on the Medicine Lodge Indians with a sharp 70-44 win on Thursday. The Black Bears have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 15 matchups by 20 points or more this season.

Sterling has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.2 points over those games. Medicine Lodge's defeat dropped their record down to 10-8-3.

Coming up, Sterling will face off against Stanton County at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Stanton County comes in on three and Sterling on ten. Medicine Lodge does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
