It's playoff time, and Maize South had no trouble coming through when it counted. They walked away with a 57-47 win over the Emporia Spartans on Wednesday. This was payback for the Mavericks, who suffered a 63-53 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Emporia's loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Rylan Crowell, who shot 4-for-6 from deep and almost dropped a double-double with 17 points and nine boards. Crowell is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as he's now pulled down nine or more in each of the last three games he's played. Nolan Jacob was another key player, shooting 63% from the field to rack up 14 points.
Maize South is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.2 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Emporia and nudges their season record down to 12-9.
Maize South has already played their next contest, a 61-42 defeat against Kapaun Mt. Carmel on the 8th. Emporia does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
