It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lutheran East had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They came out on top against the Norwayne Bobcats by a score of 64-56. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 14th, while the Bobcats are ranked 71st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Loss or not, Norwayne got some senior leadership from Tyson Hess and Parker Metsker. Hess shot 64% from the field en route to 25 points and seven rebounds, while Metsker posted 11 points along with eight assists and seven boards. Metsker is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last 11 games he's played. Braden West was another key player, putting up 15 points.
Lutheran East has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-4 record this season. With the defeat, Norwayne broke their 11-game winning streak and moved their record to 23-3.
Coming up, Lutheran East will take on Richmond Heights at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Richmond Heights' favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 15 matches. Norwayne does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
