It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but the Memorial Chargers had no problem doing just that on Friday. They strolled past the Cardinals with points to spare, taking the game 66-47. The win made it back-to-back wins for Memorial.
Memorial's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jarrell Colbert, who scored 23 points. It was the first time this season that Colbert scored 15 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jalil Cotton, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 15 rebounds.
Memorial is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 19-8 record this season. As for East Central, they have not been sharp recently as the team has lost five of their last six contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 9-14 record this season.
Memorial and Booker T. Washington will face off at 6:00 p.m. on March 2nd without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Booker T. Washington knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past 24 matches -- so hopefully Memorial likes a good challenge. East Central does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
