Wisconsin Lutheran survived the comeback attempt from Oshkosh North and held on for a 58-57 win.
Wisconsin Lutheran would lead by 10 at the half but the Spartans of Oshkosh North would go on a 20-5 run over the middle part of the half. Mr Basketball for 2025 Xzavion Mitchell would have 14 of the 20 for Oshkosh North in the run.
But in the end, the balanced attack from Wisconsin Lutheran proved to be too much as they extended back out a 4-point lead before Tylan Lister would hit a 3 to cut the lead to 1, a missed Wisconsin Lutheran free throw would give the Spartans a chance, but they could not find a basket in the final seconds.
