Worth County's boys basketball team once again dropped a close game Monday night as they fell to a very good Nodaway-Holt team 55-50. They led 15-10 after one quarter, but the Trojans chipped away at it, tied it at 26 at the half, and then took control in the second half. The pattern of the past two games is similar to the 1983-1984 season, when the Tigers dropped nearly all of their games by one or two possessions. There is no break in the schedule for the boys, who now have to travel to Albany Friday; the Warriors won districts last year and have some key cogs back this year.
The Tigers did not help themselves out at the free throw line as they shot only three for 10 from the line. Brevyn Ross led the Tigers with 20; he is becoming a model of consistency for the team in the scoring column. Ben Badell followed with 9, Truman Moore and Chris Alarcon had 8 each, Josh Warner had 3, and Lane Craven had 2. Brevyn Ross had two 3-pointers for the Tigers and Ben Badell had one.
The girls did some things right, but still fell to the unbeaten and top-ranked Nodaway-Holt squad 62-35. The Tigers held Megan Rosenbohm to 21 points and Kristen Andrews and Sydney Thummel did a good job defensively on her, getting the ball out of her hands. Unfortunately, everyone else stepped up for the Trojans, who had nine different people in the scoring column. Kaitlyn Davidson had 11 to lead the Tigers. Claire Andrews followed with 8. Ally Buffington had the best scoring night of her career, getting six. Sydney Thummel followed with 4 and Kristen Andrews, Danielle Funk, and Dylanie Abplanalp had 2 each. Danielle Funk, returning from an ankle injury, had 2 blocked shots. The Tigers were 11 for 20 from the free throw line.
