He also had 15 points and 15 rebounds for Dominican. In Division-Five, Racine Lutheran and Sheboygan Lutheran won their semi-finals yesterday and will square off in tomorrow’s championship contest. Racine Lutheran led 43-to-9 at the half, en route to a 64-35 victory over Drummond. Racine Lutheran scored 24 points off turnovers.
