It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Dysart had no problem doing just that on Friday. They slipped by the Sahuaro Cougars 56-55. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Demons considering their 25-point performance the game before.
Leading Dysart to victory were Lamar Anderson and Santiago Leyva. Anderson shot 50% from the field to rack up 16 points along with six blocks and five boards, while Leyva dropped a double-double with 24 points and 15 rebounds. The dominant performance gave Anderson a new career-high in blocks. Ashton Havvard was another key player, putting up six points and three steals.
When it comes to explaining why Sahuaro lost, don't look at Cisco Llamas. Despite the final result, he went 12-for-25 on his way to 27 points in addition to eight steals and five boards. Llamas' big performance that evening made it eight games in a row in which he has scored at least 17 points. Another player making a difference was Jackson Vernon, who posted six points.
Dysart is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.5 points over those games. Sahuaro has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 22-5 record this season.
As of now, neither Dysart nor Sahuaro have any future games scheduled.
