Lutheran-Northeast's win came from a few key players Elkhorn Valley will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was D'Artagnan Taylor, who shot 40% from the field on his way to 13 points. Brody Lawless was another key player, putting up nine points.
Elkhorn Valley beat Lutheran-Northeast 54-44 in their previous matchup back in December of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
