Worth County's Junior High girls downed South Nodaway in their final home game of the year 17-12 as they got back on the winning track following a loss to Jefferson in a game the players felt they should have taken. The game was tight and low-scoring, with the score stuck at 2 for most of the first quarter before Kaitlyn Davidson (7 points) hit a free throw and Crystal Davis (6 points) added a banked wing shot to make it 5-2.
Kristen Nielson scored four points at the end of the first half to tie it at 8, but then South Nodaway missed two wide open layups that would have put them in front and then Allison Hilsabeck, their tallest player, picked up her fourth foul and sat down. This seemed to get the Tigers untracked as South Nodaway could no longer match their size. Sydney Thummel hit three out of four from the line to break the tie and then Crystal Davis went coast to coast to make it 13-8. Following a spectacular block by Crystal from behind, Kaitlyn Davidson's putback with 12 seconds left put Worth County up 15-8. Neilson did all she could in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter to get her team back in it, cutting it to 15-12. But then Crystal Davis' shot with 42 seconds left iced it for the Tigers.
