It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but the North Blue Devils had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They strolled past the Bishops with points to spare, taking the game 78-61. Given North's advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 169th, while Messmer is ranked 390th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
North got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Dmonte Davis out in front who almost dropped a double-double on 18 points and nine rebounds. Davis hasn't dropped below two steals for 20 straight games. The team also got some help courtesy of John Adams, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and 19 rebounds.
North is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. As for Messmer, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last seven contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-20 record this season.
North will take on Racine Saint Catherine?s/Racine Lutheran at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Messmer does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
