It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but White Bear Lake had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They took down the New Life Academy Eagles 79-61. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 132nd, while the Eagles are ranked 360th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
White Bear Lake has been performing well recently as they've won 15 of their last 18 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.7 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for New Life Academy and nudges their season record down to 8-15.
As of now, neither White Bear Lake nor New Life Academy have any future games scheduled.
