Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Brunswick walked away with it. They secured a 39-35 W over the Habersham Central Raiders on Saturday. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia basketball rankings (they are ranked 64th, while the Raiders are ranked 231st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Brunswick smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 13 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive boards in 32 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Brunswick is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-7 record this season. Habersham Central's loss dropped their record down to 14-12.
