Northeast Nodaway's girls started off with one of their best quarters of the year against Stanberry in the first quarter of their game with them Friday. They then lost the lead by the third quarter; however, they recovered to win 42-35 to raise their record to 4-2. Dallis Coffelt led the team with 9 points, 5 blocks, and took a charge on defense. Taryn Farnan followed with 8 points and a ton of boards, Claudia Wiederholt had a season-high 7, while Brianna Riley had 6.
The game started out low-scoring as Northeast did not score a point in the first 4:13 and picked up five fouls during that stretch. But Stanberry could not take advantage as they only led 1-0 at that point. Then, Northeast put together one of their best stretches of the year, sparked by a steal from Jill Spire and feed to Dallis Coffelt for a layup. Dallis Dawn followed up with a block that set up a long outlet from Taryn Farnan to Jill Spire for a layup. Holly Redden then got a defensive board and quick outlet to Jill to make it 7-1. Brianna Riley then went coast to coast after a quick outlet from Taryn and then followed with a drive. Kerrigan Adwell followed with a free throw to put Northeast up 12-1 after one.
But Stanberry started pounding it into their post players at will to score the first five points of the second quarter to make it 12-6. Northeast was dribbling into traps too much, not getting enough spacing on offense, and taking some bad shots during that stretch. Northeast was committing too many fouls 60 feet away from the basket and committing too many makeup fouls, where they would turn the ball over on offense and then try to make up for it on defense. Northeast got untracked in time to keep a six point lead at 21-15 at halftime after Stanberry had cut it to 14-12 at one point. Stanberry scored five points from the free throw line off makeup fouls and fouls that were 40-60 feet away from the basket in the first half. Take those away and Northeast's lead would have been much more comfortable at 21-10.
As it was, Stanberry started off the third quarter with a concerted effort to drive to the rim. That got them a 23-22 lead after Riley Bremer's steal and layup. The focus of the game for Northeast was finishing off games strongly; in their two losses this year against Tarkio and South Nodaway; the Bluejays had started off strongly in the first half before fading in the second half and losing. But this time, Northeast got back to what made them successful, getting to the rim and drawing fouls from Stanberry. Claudia Wiederholt got a drive and found Taryn open for a 3-point play which put Northeast back in front for good at 25-23 with 3:19 left in the third. Taryn, who had been scoreless in the first half, scored all eight of her points in the second half.
At that point, Stanberry had seven fouls to three for Northeast, and the Bluejays were able to use the foul differential to their advantage the rest of the way. Brianna Riley scored off a drive, Dallis hit a free throw, Taryn Farnan got a pass from Holly Redden for a score, and Kerrigan Adwell hit two free throws to put Northeast back in front at 32-27 at the end of three.
Northeast successfully ran out the clock in the fourth quarter as Stanberry was in foul trouble by that point, with three of their starters with four fouls. Claudia Wiederholt had 5 free throws, Taryn Farnan and Dallis Coffelt had 2 each, and Holly Redden had 1.
The girls JV team won 12-9. Bailey Judd had 4 while Talina Nelson, Kerrigan Adwell, Allie Runde, and Brianna Riley each had 2. The boys lost to defending state runner-up Stanberry 71-35; the game was never close after the first 4-6 minutes and it became a layup drill for Stanberry for much of the night. Steve Schulte had 14 points to lead Northeast. Joel Scroggie and Shaun Burns had 6 each, Garet Jackson had 5, and Andrew Freemyer and Dalton Auffert had 2 each. Schulte had two 3-pointers while Jackson had 1.
