Scott can attribute much of their success to Avery Radke, who dropped a double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Jackson Rumford, who dropped a double-double with 19 points and 11 boards. Rumford's big performance that evening made it eight games in a row in which he has scored at least 15 points. Eloy Ruelas was another key player, putting up 11 points along with six rebounds and five assists.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Norton, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They came out on top against Lyons by a score of 60-52 on Friday.
Scott better focus on containing Eli Jones and Rylen Murray as the pair were huge in Norton's win. Jones shot 64% from the field to rack up 22 points in addition to five assists and four steals, while Murray went 8-for-14 on his way to 21 points. That's the most points Murray has posted since back in December of 2024. Another player making a difference was Tyce Melvin, who earned six points and six boards.
Norton was working as a unit and finished the game with 15 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Norton is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.4 points over those games. Scott's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-4.
