Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only McLaughlin walked away with it. They breezed past the McIntosh Tigers to the tune of 56-23 on Tuesday. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 contests by 27 points or more this season.

McLaughlin is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-4 record this season.

Coming up, McLaughlin will take on Lemmon at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a three-game winning streak alive. McIntosh does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
