Worth County's Junior High boys are now 5-0 following wins over King City and Northeast Nodaway this week. Issac Alarcon scored 17 points for the Tigers as they beat Northeast Nodaway 72-23 Thursday night; he added 5 assists as he continues to maintain an average of around 20 points per game. Worth County continues to progress towards a potential showdown with Maryville in the Northeast Nodaway Tournament in a couple of weeks; last year, Maryville spoiled Worth County's bid for an unbeaten season in junior high in the first round. This year, if it happens, the potential showdown would take place in the championship round Saturday, November 22nd at 7:00.
What looked like an interesting matchup early in the season went by the wayside; Northeast has now dropped four games after a promising start. Worth County stole the ball at will in the first quarter; Issac Alarcon had 7 points, Caleb Parman had 5, and Drake Simmons and Bryant McCord had 4 each as Worth County was jumping passes at will. Northeast tried to press Worth County, but the Tigers sliced through it at will, treating it like it was not there. Worth County led 20-2 after one, prompting some folks from Northeast to hit the exits and go home.
Issac Alarcon added six more in the second quarter and Jacob New came alive in the period, leading the Tigers with 8 points. Bryant McCord and Drake Simmons added two each as Worth County went ahead 38-7 at the break. For Northeast at the half, Spencer Weir had 3 and Colton Wilmes and Dakota Gross had 2 each.
Worth County went on to pour on 27 points in the third period. Issac Alarcon had four in the period and added four assists as he was airing it out at will for the Tigers. Jacob New had 7 for the Tigers and finished with a career high 15 points for the night, continuing to show his new-found scoring punch. Caleb Parman added 6 and ended with 11 for the night, although he wound up one point short of his girlfriend's (NEN guard Makayla Adwell's) total. Bryant McCord had 2 to finish with 8 for the Tigers; Drake Simmons had 8 in the period to finish with 14. Worth County had four people in double figures for the night.
The fourth quarter was dominated by the reserves as Tanner Parman did most of the scoring for Worth County while Chance Barber did most of the scoring for Northeast.
