Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Fairfax Christian walked away with it. They breezed past the Roanoke Catholic Celtics to the tune of 94-58 on Friday. Given the Cardinals' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 35th, while the Celtics are ranked 93rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Fairfax Christian is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 23-12 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 79.3 points over those games. Roanoke Catholic has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 20-12 record this season.
A feisty cat fight will be fought as the Cardinals take on the Wildcats at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Carmel School knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 29 contests -- so hopefully Fairfax Christian likes a good challenge. Roanoke Catholic does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
