It was a brutal week for Northeast Nodaway's teams, going up against some of the best teams in the area. It was capped by the girls playing their best game of the year and dropping a 41-40 heartbreaker to DeKalb Friday. The Bluejays had a strong fourth quarter as they outscored the Tigers 13-5, but fell one point short in the loss. Taryn Farnan had 11 for Northeast, Jill Spire had 8, Claudia Wiederholt and Holly Redden 6 each, and Dallis Coffelt and Brianna Riley had 4 each.
The Bluejays also lost 66-42 to undefeated Nodaway-Holt in a makeup game and 36-25 to Jefferson. Megan Rosenbohm, who has played some of her best games in Northeast Nodaway's gym, had yet another one as she had 38 points Thursday night. Northeast threw a scare into the unbeaten Trojans as they played them evenly, 10-10 after one quarter. But then things fell apart in the second as they had one bad quarter and were outscored 21-4 in the second. Taryn Farnan had 11 points and Jill Spire six for Northeast. The Bluejays struggled at the free throw line in both these games, going 7 for 18 against DeKalb and 4 for 14 against Nodaway-Holt.
Northeast discovered too late that they could play ball against Jefferson as they lost 36-25 Tuesday night. They dug themselves into a 20 point hole before rallying and coming to within eight points at one point before losing by 11. The Bluejays have gotten to where they are finishing games strongly, however; if they can keep this pattern up, they will do serious damage in the final few weeks of the season.
The boys lost 59-40 Thursday to a red hot Nodaway-Holt team. They got balanced scoring, but not enough of it in the loss. Garet Jackson, Joel Scroggie, and Shaun Burns all had 11 while Steve Schulte followed with 7. The boys only made six trips to the line in the loss. The boys also lost 57-32 to Jefferson as they could not find the range against the Eagles. They did not make a single shot from the field until 2:30 was left in the first half, a sure recipe for disaster.
