It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Frostproof can now relate to. They took a 65-60 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Avon Park Red Devils. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 628th, while the Red Devils are ranked 222nd).

Even though they lost, Frostproof smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with ten offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in six consecutive contests.
Frostproof has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-10 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.8 points over those games. As for Avon Park, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 21-3.
As of now, neither Frostproof nor Avon Park have any future games scheduled.
