It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but the Roosevelt Teddies had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They came out on top against the Spartans by a score of 51-41. Given Roosevelt's advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 82nd, while Simley is ranked 343rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Roosevelt got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Olivia Wren out in front who scored nine points along with seven rebounds and five assists. Wren hasn't dropped below two steals for eight straight games. The team also got some help courtesy of Jazmyne Armstrong, who scored eight points along with 12 rebounds and four steals.
Roosevelt's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 23-7. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.1 points per game. As for Simley, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost ten of their last 11 matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 8-20 record this season.
Roosevelt will be playing at home against Two Rivers at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Hopefully Roosevelt focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 13 on Wednesday. Simley does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
