It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Oceanside Collegiate Academy had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Swansea Tigers 85-15. The Landsharks' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Jones went 9-for-12 to rack up 24 points and seven rebounds, while Thomas went 9-for-13 en route to 18 points and six boards. Thanks to that strong game, Jones now owns an excellent 40.7% three-point shooting accuracy. Abe Davinroy was another key player, putting up nine points and seven boards.
