Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only the Canton Chiefs walked away with it. They skirted past the Wildcats 56-54. Given Canton's advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while Plymouth is ranked 404th), the result on Wednesday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Canton's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Caleb Williams led the charge by scoring 20 points along with three steals. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Williams has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Alexander Persinger, who scored 14 points along with four steals.
Canton pushed their record up to 19-4 with that win, which was their fifth straight at home. As for Plymouth, they have not been sharp recently as the team has lost 11 of their last 13 games, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-19 record this season.
Canton will look to defend their home court on Friday against Wayne Memorial at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully Canton focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up eight on Wednesday. Plymouth does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
