Tiger Boys Win Second in Final Home Game

The Worth County boys won their second game of the year Thursday, a 65-41 win over Pattonsburg, on their final game of the year. The Tigers led 10-15 points for most of the game and then used a 22 point fourth quarter to pull away. Brevyn Ross led the scoring with 21 points, followed by Truman Moore with 20. Chris Alarcon had 7, Nate Pointer had 3, and Jared Simmons had 2. Andrew Mullock, who had been sidelined all year with a knee injury from football, finally got to play and had 2. Truman had 13 boards in the win while Brevyn Ross had 3 steals and 7 assists.

The girls had one of their more productive offensive games of the year against a solid Pattonsburg team, but could not buy a stop when they needed one and lost 66-49 to the Panthers. Kristen Andrews had 13 points, a season high, including 7 out of 8 on free throw shooting. Kaitlyn Davidson had 12, and Quinci Schottel had 8, a career high for varsity. The game was marred by numerous fouls for both teams; Worth County was whistled for 24 fouls and Pattonsburg had 21. Kaitlyn Davidson had a double double as she added 10 boards, 3 assists, and 5 steals.

On Monday, the boys got a scare as Brevyn Ross was injured as he crashed into the part of the stage that is not padded on the north end of the gym in the third quarter as Worth County was trying to protect a vanishing lead. He hit the stage with his back full speed and lay face down on the floor for a few minutes as the whole gym turned silent. Without Brevyn, the boys lost the lead and the game to North Harrison 59-55. But thankfully, Brevyn was not seriously hurt although he sat out the Stanberry game, a 69-24 debacle to the state runner-ups from last year. He came back in the win against Pattonsburg at full strength. Worth County could not guard Reed Hallock, North Harrison's 3-point shooter as he was making everything from NBA range all night, collecting 33 points in the Shamrock win.

The girls lost a 60-31 debacle to North Harrison as they could not stop the Shamrocks' post game and they could not stay out of foul trouble. They played without Sydney Thummel (shoulder). Claire Andrews was a bright spot offensively for Worth County, getting 14 points. Quinci Schottel followed with 7. Sydney got to play in the Stanberry game and the Tigers made a game out of it, down only 19-18 at the half. But Stanberry outscored them 13-7 in the third quarter to take control and get the 43-37 win. Worth County landed seven players in the scoring column, but it wasn't enough. Sydney Thummel had 11, Kaitlyn Davidson 8, Claire Andrews 6, Sidney Troutwine and Payton Adwell 4, and Kristen Andrews 2. Worth County struggled at the free throw line, where they shot 9 for 23.
