It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Williamsville had no problem doing just that on Friday. They walked away with a 49-36 victory over the Auburn Trojans. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent win being a 60-48 victory two weeks ago.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Williamsville to victory, but perhaps none more so than Carson Doran, who went 5-for-9 en route to 12 points and six assists. Doran is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was Blake Shoufler, who posted 12 points.
