With a playoff win on the line, Homewood-Flossmoor rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They claimed a resounding 74-35 win over the Shepard Astros. The Vikings have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 18 games by 26 points or more this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Homewood-Flossmoor to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jayden Tyler, who went 8-for-18 en route to 20 points and four steals. The contest was Tyler's fifth in a row with at least 17 points. Darrius Hawkins Jr was another key player, dropping a double-double with ten points and ten assists.

Homewood-Flossmoor was working as a unit and finished the game with 20 assists. They are a perfect 26-0 when they've passed the ball that well.

Homewood-Flossmoor is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 75.9 points over those games. Shepard's loss dropped their record down to 14-19.

As of now, neither Homewood-Flossmoor nor Shepard have any future games scheduled.
