It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Benton had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Marion Patriots 44-41. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Panthers' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Arkansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 69th, while the Patriots are ranked 18th).
Benton has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.4 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Marion and nudges their season record down to 20-11.
Benton has already played their next contest (against Farmington), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Marion does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
