Makayla Adwell knocked down 11 points as Northeast Nodaway's junior high girls got back on the winning track with a 23-8 win over St. Gregory's. They had to contain a dangerous left-hander, Addison Hall; however, they never led her get going for the Falcons and held her scoreless. They were playing the second of back to back meetings; after losing 28-24 to Worth County the night before, they successfully put it behind them and picked up their game defensively to get the win.
Adwell started it off by getting to the rim early, getting a 3-point play and picking up 5 in the first quarter as Northeast led 9-2 after one. Gerry Runde added four as she rebounded well on the offensive end. Makayla, who had been battling foul trouble all year, stayed on the floor all game this time, only picking up one foul.
Gerry Runde, Makayla Adwell, and Maggie Schmitz all picked up two each in the second quarter as Northeast continued to pull away and led 15-4 at the break. Adwell had two assists in the period and Brea Coulter had one.
Jaysie Dougan came off the bench and had three assists for Northeast in the second half, constantly finding the open person to stifle any Falcon comeback attempts. She was increasingly aggressive on defense as well; if she gets more confidence in her shot, she will become a force for Northeast in future years. Makayla Adwell had 4 and Gerry Runde and Maggie Schmitz had 2 each.
For Northeast, Makayla Adwell had 11, more than the entire Falcon squad. Gerry Runde added 8 and Maggie Schmitz had 4.
