It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Central can now relate to. They fell 56-46 to the East Thunderbirds on Friday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Thunderbirds this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 58-51 back in January.
This is the second loss in a row for Central and nudges their season record down to 8-15. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 15-6 Laramie (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 61.8% over those games). As for East, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-11 record this season.
Central will take on Laramie at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Laramie knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten contests -- so hopefully Central likes a good challenge. East does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
