It's playoff time, and West Catholic had no trouble coming through when it counted. They claimed a resounding 79-35 victory over the Antietam Mountaineers. Given the Burrs' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 61st, while the Mountaineers are ranked 343rd), the result on Saturday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Antietam's loss came despite strong showings from Julious Williams and Noel Coste. Williams shot 47% from the field on his way to 14 points, while Coste posted 11 points. Those 11 points gave Coste a new career-high.
West Catholic has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-14 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.0 points over those games. Antietam's defeat dropped their record down to 15-11.
Looking ahead, West Catholic will face off against Warrior Run on Wednesday. West Catholic knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past seven games -- so hopefully Warrior Run likes a good challenge. Antietam does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
