With a playoff win on the line, Ferndale rose to the challenge on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-0 victory over the Victory Christian Academy Eagles. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 298th in California, while the Eagles are ranked 973rd in California), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Belky Gallardo was Ferndale's leading scorer, having posted two points.
Ferndale has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.3 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Victory Christian Academy and nudges their season record down to 13-14.
Ferndale didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 33-28 win against St. Vincent de Paul on the 26th. Victory Christian Academy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
