It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Wake Prep Academy had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Warren County Eagles 66-37. The Guardians have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 14 contests by 20 points or more this season.
It was another big night for Karly Beckstrand, who dropped a double-double with 16 boards and 11 steals. Beckstrand is crushing it when it comes to steals: she's grabbed at least three every time she's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Journey Johnson, who almost dropped a double-double with 13 points and nine steals.
Wake Prep Academy smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in four consecutive matchups.
Despite the loss, Warren County saw an underclassman step up: freshman Iyauna Harley dropped a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Warren County is 9-1 when Harley posts eight or more boards, but 5-10 otherwise.
Wake Prep Academy is on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.7 points over those games. Warren County's defeat dropped their record down to 14-11.
Looking ahead, Wake Prep Academy will host Pamlico County at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Pamlico County knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past five contests -- so hopefully Wake Prep Academy likes a good challenge. Warren County does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
