With a playoff win on the line, Pearl River rose to the challenge on Friday. They walked away with a 54-42 victory over the Pleasantville Panthers. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 111th, while the Panthers are ranked 779th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Pearl River has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.3 points over those games. Pleasantville is on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
As of now, neither Pearl River nor Pleasantville have any future games scheduled.
