The Trojans bounced back from a loss to New Berlin Eisenhower with a 65-57 victory over visiting Greendale on Friday.
West jumped on the Panthers early, taking a 21-8 lead after one quarter. Ray Sterling led all scorers with 24 points, and Jarvis Ashley scored 13. A.J. Krause and Alexander Gordon added nine each.
The victory improved the Trojans to 15-6 overall and 12-4 in the Woodland Conference Black. West is seeded sixth in the WIAA Division 1 tournament and will take on No. 11-seeded South Milwaukee in a first-round game at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The winner advances to take on either No. 3 Milwaukee Washington or No. 14 Oak Creek.
That will be the second game in a row against South Milwaukee (10-6, 11-9), whom the Trojans were also to face in the regular-season final Wednesday.
West fell at Eisenhower, 50-47, Feb. 16. Ike lost its next game, the team's first defeat of the season.
