Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Cherry Hill West walked away with it. They strolled past the Neptune Scarlet Fliers with points to spare on Monday, taking the game 52-36. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey basketball rankings (they are ranked ninth, while the Scarlet Fliers are ranked 46th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Cherry Hill West is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.5 points over those games. With the loss, Neptune broke their seven-game winning streak and moved their record to 18-12.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Cherry Hill West beat Neptune by a score of 52-36 on Tuesday.
