If Lutheran-Northeast wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Norfolk Catholic, they should've done a better job of containing Gavin Schutt. The Norfolk Catholic Knights walked away with a 72-61 victory over the Lutheran-Northeast Eagles on Tuesday for which the team can thank Schutt, who on his way to 22 points along with eight rebounds and six steals. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in steals.

The team also got some help courtesy of Nathan Timmerman, who posted eight points and five boards. He is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games he's played.

Norfolk Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.0 points over those games. Lutheran-Northeast's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 14-10.

Coming up, Norfolk Catholic will face off against Pender at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Lutheran-Northeast does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
