It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lynwood had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They enjoyed a cozy 67-53 win over the Lakewood Lancers. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Lancers are ranked 142nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
