Mildred had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They snuck past the Axtell Longhorns with a 50-44 win on Tuesday. The victory was nothing new for the Eagles as they're now sitting on three straight.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Mildred to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brennan Moore, who dropped a double-double with 11 points and 15 rebounds. Moore is becoming a predictor of Mildred's success: when he posts at least eight boards the team is 17-5 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Justin Ovalle, who posted eight points.
