It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Loveland had no problem doing just that on Friday. They strolled past the Anderson Raptors with points to spare, taking the game 65-47. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 169th, while the Raptors are ranked 448th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
When it comes to explaining why Anderson lost, don't look at Trace Jallick. Despite the final result, he went 9-for-14 on his way to 19 points. What's more, Jallick also posted a 64% field goal percentage, which is the highest he's achieved since back in December of 2024. Another player making a difference was Ace Alston, who posted 11 points.
Loveland has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.8 points over those games. Anderson has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-17 record this season.
Loveland will challenge Kings at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Kings' favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three matchups. Anderson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
