Elm Creek waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They were the clear victor by a 70-45 margin over the Ravenna Bluejays. Given the Buffaloes' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 60th, while the Bluejays are ranked 245th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Elm Creek to victory, but perhaps none more so than Quin Oberg, who went 9 of 16 en route to 22 points along with seven boards and four steals. Oberg's evening made it six games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Caleb Reiter, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and ten rebounds.
