It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Mt. Zion had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Lincoln Railsplitters 32-30. The 32-point effort marked the Braves' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Lincoln's loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Frank Sanders, who posted six points and eight boards. Sanders has been hot recently, having also posted two or more steals the last three times he's played. Karson Komnick was another key player, going 6-for-13 to rack up 16 points.
Mt. Zion has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.4 points over those games. Lincoln's defeat dropped their record down to 23-11.
Coming up, Mt. Zion will take on Glenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are coming into the game red-hot, with Glenwood sitting on five straight victories and Mt. Zion on four. Lincoln does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
