The game was close early on. Neumann took a 19-13 lead after one quarter and increased the lead to 41-26 at halftime. Jaxon Simons was on fire for Neumann in the first half, posting 28 points for the Cavaliers. Neumann extended the lead to 53-34 after three quarters. The Warriors kept battling and cut the lead to 15 at 56-41, but that would be as close as Wahoo could get in the fourth quarter. Jaxon Simons ended up with 35 points for Neumann. “I was proud of our kids. They battled to the very end. Jaxon Simons just had an incredible night for Neumann, which was too much for us to overcome,” commented Head Coach Kevin Scheef. “Jake Ruzicka played really well for us, as did Dalton Lamprecht. I was proud of Jake Scheef for giving it everything he had with his leg injury.” Ruzicka led the Warriors with 20 points on 8-16 shooting from the field to go with 7 rebounds. Lamprecht had 12 points, 4 boards, and 4 steals. Scheef added 10 points, and Gavin Iversen had 5 assists. Neumann was 10-23 from three point range, while the Warriors were just 3-15. Wahoo falls to 19-6, while Neumann improves to 22-3. The Warriors still have an outside chance at a wildcard, but will need GICC, Winnebago, and Falls City to win their District Finals on Monday night.
