Evansville Memorial won the last time they faced Mt. Vernon, and Luke Ellspermann did his part to make sure it happened again. The Evansville Memorial Tigers took down the Mt. Vernon Wildcats 73-55 on Friday with plenty of help from Ellspermann, who shot 4-for-5 from long range and almost dropped a double-double with 36 points and nine rebounds. That makes it six consecutive games in which he has scored at least a third of Evansville Memorial's points.

Another player making a difference was Maxx Anslinger, who posted eight points and ten boards. What's more, he also posted a 50% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's achieved since back in January.

When it comes to explaining why Mt. Vernon lost, don't look at Meyer Robb. Despite the final result, he shot 50% from the field to rack up 16 points along with eight rebounds and six assists. Bryce Clowers was another key player, putting up nine points.

Evansville Memorial has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. Mt. Vernon's loss dropped their record down to 13-13.

Evansville Memorial wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next contest, a 56-43 win against Evansville Central on the 8th. Mt. Vernon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
