Meanwhile, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Lutheran-Northeast on Thursday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew Wisner-Pilger out of the water with a 60-28 final score.

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.
