It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Stranahan had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They pulled ahead with a 63-62 photo finish over the Gibbs Gladiators. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Mighty Dragons have posted since December 6, 2024.
Several Gladiators players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Jacob Daniels, who shot 44% from the field on his way to 19 points in addition to five assists and five rebounds. What's more, Daniels posted two blocks, the most he's had since back in January. The team also got some help courtesy of Isaiah Medina, who went 6-for-10 en route to 16 points and five boards.
Stranahan has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.9 points over those games. The loss snapped Gibbs' winning streak at 20 games and leaves them with a 27-5 record.
As of now, neither Stranahan nor Gibbs have any future games scheduled.
