Another player making a difference was Cole Petersen, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 12 rebounds.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Elkhorn will take on Plattsmouth at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Plattsmouth will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Nebraska Rankings (they are ranked 175th, while Elkhorn is ranked sixth).
