Scholl's 17 Points, 17 Rebounds, Seven Blocks Power Northridge to Sectional Final

Brady Scholl dominated the paint Friday night at North Side Gym, finishing with 17 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocked shots to lift No. 6 Northridge to a 53-29 win over Goshen and into the Class 4A sectional final. Scholl’s physical presence turned contested possessions into points and possessions regained, a decisive factor in a low-scoring sectional semifinal.

The senior center’s stat line was the headline: 17 points supplied Northridge’s offense, 17 rebounds erased Goshen second-chance opportunities, and seven blocks disrupted perimeter entries and shots at the rim. Those numbers translated into a defensive outing that limited Goshen to 29 points, preventing the visitor from building any sustained run.

Northridge’s 53 points came with Scholl anchoring both ends of the floor; the Patriots, seeded sixth in the sectional, used his rim protection to control the paint and close out possessions. Goshen struggled to convert inside and could not match Northridge on the glass, a mismatch that showed up on the scoreboard throughout the second half.

With the win on March 6, 2026, at North Side Gym, Northridge advances to the Class 4A sectional final. Scholl’s performance on senior night provided a clear blueprint for the Patriots moving forward: command the paint, clean the defensive glass, and alter shots around the basket.
