Kirtland is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They came out on top against Smithville by a score of 81-72.

Memorial typically has all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Dalton proved too difficult a challenge. They blew past the Red Devils 62-40. The Bulldogs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine matchups by 22 points or more this season.
