It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Hammond had no problem doing just that on Friday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Poolesville Falcons 59-56. This was payback for the Golden Bears, who suffered a 71-49 loss the last time these two teams met.
Poolesville's defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Thomas Straniero, who posted 11 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Armaan Jain, who shot 63% from the field on his way to 11 points in addition to five boards and four blocks.
Hammond is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-12 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.5 points over those games. Poolesville's loss ended a five-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 14-10.
Coming up, Hammond will take on Century on Tuesday. Poolesville does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
