Fieldcrest had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They walked away with a 62-50 victory over the Clifton Central Comets on Wednesday. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 178th in Illinois, while the Comets are ranked 488th in Illinois), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Fieldcrest is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.0 points over those games. Clifton Central has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 17-13 record this season.
As of now, neither Fieldcrest nor Clifton Central have any future games scheduled.
