It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Holland Patent had no problem doing just that on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 56-41 victory over the Solvay Bearcats. Given the Golden Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 228th, while the Bearcats are ranked 681st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Holland Patent is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-6 record this season. Solvay is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-16.
Looking ahead, Holland Patent will challenge Lowville at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Holland Patent's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 17 contests. Solvay does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
