With a playoff win on the line, Doherty Memorial rose to the challenge on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Norwood Mustangs with a sharp 77-55 victory. Given the Highlanders' advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts basketball rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Mustangs are ranked 63rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Doherty Memorial is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 69.9 points over those games. The defeat snapped Norwood's winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 17-6 record.
As of now, neither Doherty Memorial nor Norwood have any future games scheduled.
