It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact the Washington Eagles can now relate to. They fell 79-70 to the Tigers on Saturday. Washington's loss signaled the end of their 13-game winning streak.
When it comes to explaining why Washington lost, one person who can't be blamed is Chris Mcdermott. Despite the final result, he dropped a double-double on 22 points and 11 rebounds. Mcdermott is crushing the rebound category: he's posted at least eight every time he's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Samuel Johnson, who scored 13 points along with seven rebounds and two steals.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Silsbee to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jared Harris, who scored 19 points along with six steals and five assists. Harris has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last 11 times he's played. Lamarcus Bottley jr was another key contributor, scoring 17 points along with three steals.
Washington's loss dropped their record down to 27-5. As for Silsbee, they are on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 28-9 record this season.
Washington does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Silsbee will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Randall at 1:30 p.m. on March 8th. One thing working in Randall's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last 30 matchups.
