A long 3-pointer by Austin Pulley, one of South Nodaway's skyscraper twins on their junior high boys squad, turned into a wake-up call for the Junior High tigers against their opponent. Northeast Nodaway, whom Worth County had beaten by 10 earlier this year, had destroyed South Nodaway earlier this year. But the taller Longhorn squad had come to play against Worth County, leading the whole quarter before Pulley's 3-pointer made it 7-3. But after the wakeup call, Worth County pulled themselves back together and went on to win 39-22 against the Longhorns.
Cole Parman (16 points) responded with a steal and drive to start the second quarter and then Austin Carlson scored from inside against the taller Longhorn squad off a drive down the middle from Brevyn Ross to tie it up. Carlson showed some mobility on offense as he pushed it up the floor and fed Josh Warner for a layup to put Worth County up to stay. Brevyn Ross followed with a steal and Cole Parman got a putback off the glass to make it 13-7 and cap a 10-0 run.
Grady Luke's free throws ended the run, but then Josh Warner answered with two free throws and Cole Parman scored after Brevyn Ross pushed it up the floor and then Josh Warner scored off the class early in the second half to make it 19-9.
South Nodaway got the ball into Pulley and they whittled away at the lead, cutting it to 20-14 at the 1:50 mark. But then Cole Parman hit the first of two free throws and Josh Warner put back the second shot for a 3-point play to make it 23-14. South Nodaway fought back as Michael McConkey's free throws made it a six point game again at 26-10 with 3:57 left. But then Brevyn Ross drove down the left side of the lane and flipped the ball in for a reverse layup, which seemed to be a backbreaker for South Nodaway. Cole Parman followed with a steal and drive, Brevyn Ross hit from the right side, and Cole Parman scored off a Dallas Monticue steal. Josh Warner followed with a free throw and then the reserves got in on the act as Ben Badell got a steal and drive and Dallas Monticue scored from the left wing in transition to cap a 13-0 run.
