Worth County Junior High Boys Get Breather over Shamrocks

Worth County's Junior High Boys won a breather over the North Harrison Shamrocks 33-5 Monday night. The Tigers scored the first 24 points of the game and did not allow a single North Harrison score until the third quarter. Ryan McClellan led the Tigers with a career high 11 points, followed by Cade Allee with a career high 10 and Drake Kinsella with 7. Wayde Parman followed with a career high 4, while Bobby Lynch scored his first career point as a Tiger, hitting a free throw.

Drake Kinsella opened the scoring for the Tigers by following his own miss 10 seconds into the game. Wayde Parman followed with a driving layup and then Worth County scored 14 points in the final three minutes of the first quarter to put the game away. Wayde Parman hit Drake Kinsella inside, then Cade Allee followed with a putback, Ryan McClellan scored off a Drake Kinsella steal, Wayde Parman scored off a steal, Cade Allee got another putback, Ryan McClellan scored off another Wayde Parman steal as Wade was active on defense, and then Ryan hit Cade Allee for a baseline shot with 10 seconds left to round out the scoring. North Harrison didn't have anyone who could handle the ball and it showed as Worth County got a lot of easy points off of steals.

The Tigers continued to pull away slowly in the second as Drake scored to lead off, then Ryan McClellan scored off a steal and then Jacob Wimer hit Ryan on the left wing.

North Harrison broke the shutout right off the bat in the third quarter to end any suspense, but Ryan McClellan continued to have the hot hand in the third, getting a free throw and later scoring off a Wayde Parman steal. Cade Allee added a shot from the right side and a pair of free throws and Drake Kinsella scored a free throw as Worth County led 32-3 after three quarters.

The girls lost 34-23 to North Harrison as they struggled against a mobile athletic center, something that has been their achilles heel this year. They dug themselves into a 14-4 hole in the first quarter and could not dig their way out of it as they could not come any closer than 5. Grace Schottel led the scoring for Worth County with 8 and Payton Adwell followed behind with 7; both were personal bests for them. Quinci Schottel added 4 and Kristen Ross and Sidney Troutwine had 2 each.
