Austin Jones and Max Giesken collected 7 steals each and Northeast Nodaway's boys got their second win of the year, beating Tarkio 47-30 last Tuesday night. The boys used a balanced attack with three in double figures and seven in the scoring column to get the win. Austin was playing stingy on the ball defense for the Bluejays while Max Giesken was getting in the passing lanes and jumping them.
Northeast took control of the game in the first quarter as they held Tarkio scoreless while putting up seven. Max Giesken cut inside and got a pass from Garet Jackson for a layup; Garet added a 3-pointer off a pass from Andrew Faustlin and scored a layup off a Dylan Mildfeldt steal for Northeast's output in the period.
Tarkio's defense was causing Northeast problems in the second quarter as they were constantly switching defenses every time down the court through much of the frame. They finally got on the board; however, Northeast was able to manufacture points on defense and expand their lead. Max Giesken collected four of his seven steals in the period while Austin Jones scored a layup off another steal in the period as Northeast led 20-6 at halftime.
Garet Jackson threw a long outlet pass the length of the court to Max for a layup to give Northeast its biggest lead so far at 31-14, but then Tarkio began finding its rhythm, riding the back of Seth Fletcher to close to 31-20 early in the fourth. But then Dylan Mildfeldt got the hot hand for Northeast, getting eight in the fourth and Garet Jackson added a 3-pointer as Northeast's lead never got below double digits despite Fletcher's best efforts to get to the rim. They could not afford to foul too much as they had only seven players listed in the program and only six dressed out for Tuesday's game. Northeast scored the final seven points of the game in the last minute to take the victory.
Garet Jackson led Northeast with 13 points despite getting plenty of attention from the Tarkio defense. Max Giesken had 12, Dylan Mildfeldt had 11, Austin Jones had 5, and Andrew Faustlin, Rowdy West, and Andrew Freemyer had 2 each.
