Lutheran West saw some tournament action on Saturday. They enjoyed a cozy 70-56 win over the Roosevelt Rough Riders. Given the Longhorns' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 36th, while the Rough Riders are ranked 455th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Despite the loss, Roosevelt still got an impressive performance from Gavin Peeps, who went 9-for-15 to rack up 20 points. What's more, Peeps also posted a 67% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's achieved since back in February of 2024. Emanuel Churn was another key player, putting up eight points and six boards.
Lutheran West has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.3 points over those games. Roosevelt dropped their record down to 7-17 with the loss, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Looking ahead, Lutheran West will challenge Copley at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Copley's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four games. Roosevelt does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
