Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Washburn Rural walked away with it. They really took it to the West Pioneers for the full four quarters, racking up a 78-50 win. The victory was familiar territory for the Blues, who have now won eight contests in a row.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Washburn Rural to victory, but perhaps none more so than Simon Rowley, who went 7-for-15 en route to 23 points. Those 23 points gave Rowley a new career-high. Amare Jones was another key player, shooting 67% from the field to rack up 13 points along with six rebounds and five assists.
Washburn Rural pushed their record up to 17-4 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.5 points over those games. As for West, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 11 of their last 12 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-17 record this season.
Washburn Rural will look to defend their home court on Friday against Junction City at 7:00 p.m. Washburn Rural knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past eight games -- so hopefully Junction City likes a good challenge. West does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
