Orange Grove and London squared off in some playoff action on Tuesday, but Orange Grove had to settle for second. They took a blow against the London Pirates, falling 92-54. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 1368th, while the Pirates are ranked 302nd).
Ac Carpentier was his usual excellent self, going 9-for-13 on his way to 31 points and four steals for London. That's the most points Carpentier has posted since back in November of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Christian Olivares, who went 5-for-9 to rack up 17 points and five assists.
Orange Grove has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-18 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 51.0 points over those games. The victory (which was London's 13th in a row) raised their record to 30-5.
Orange Grove does not have any more games scheduled as of now. London has already played their next game (against Raymondville), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
