It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Sterling can now relate to. They were beaten by the Rattan Rams 81-42 on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma basketball rankings (they are ranked 130th, while the Rams are ranked 25th).
Sterling has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 20-5 record this season. The victory was the sixth in a row for Rattan, bringing their record for this year to 26-3.
While Sterling had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled on Thursday.
