Garner had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They skirted past the Cardinal Gibbons Crusaders 47-45. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Crusaders are ranked 60th), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Cardinal Gibbons' defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Cash McSweeney, who dropped a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds. McSweeney's evening made it four games in a row in which he has scored at least 16 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Ty Lange, who posted four points.
Garner has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 18 of their last 20 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-4 record this season. Cardinal Gibbons' loss dropped their record down to 17-11.
Coming up, Garner will be playing in front of their home fans against Apex Friendship at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Apex Friendship knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Garner likes a good challenge. Cardinal Gibbons does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
