It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Fleming had no problem doing just that on Friday. They breezed past the Creede Miners to the tune of 57-11. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 47th, while the Miners are ranked 242nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Ashley Bornhoft went supernova for Fleming, as she made all 8 shots she took to post 17 points along with eight boards and three steals. Thanks to that strong game, Bornhoft now owns an excellent 46.2% field goal percentage. Brooke Schaefer was another key player, putting up ten points in addition to five assists and three steals.
