Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Avoyelles Charter walked away with it. They breezed past the Glenmora Wildcats to the tune of 73-41 on Tuesday. The Vikings have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Avoyelles Charter was led to victory by Jalen Brown and Armonii Benjamin. Brown went 10-for-16 on his way to 30 points and five steals, while Benjamin shot 55% from the field en route to 14 points along with eight assists and eight rebounds. Those eight assists gave Benjamin a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Ronnie Day, who posted six points and eight boards.

Avoyelles Charter 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 13 offensive boards in three consecutive games.

Avoyelles Charter is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.1 points over those games. Glenmora's loss dropped their record down to 16-19-1.

Looking ahead, Avoyelles Charter will challenge Pitkin on Friday. One thing working in Pitkin's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four matches. Glenmora does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
