It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Devon Prep had no problem doing just that on Friday. They strolled past the Bishop McDevitt Crusaders with points to spare, taking the game 77-63. 77 seems to be a good number for the Tide as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Devon Prep to victory, but perhaps none more so than Shane Doyle, who almost dropped a double-double with 16 points and nine assists. What's more, Doyle racked up six steals, the most he's had since back in December of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Reece Craft, who went 9-for-12 to rack up 22 points in addition to eight rebounds and three steals.
Devon Prep smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 12 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 11 offensive boards in three consecutive matches.
