Kaitlyn Davidson turned in what may have been a record performance Thursday night as she collected 25 points and 18 boards in Worth County's 50-21 win over winless West Nodaway. Her 25 points in a game were the most since 2006, when Megan Walker scored 30 points against Maysville. The last time anyone collected 17 boards in a game was Haley Green in 2008 against North Nodaway. Samantha Fletchall also collected 17 boards in a game back in 1994. It was Worth County's third straight win over the Rockets, who have been down for the last few years.
Kaitlyn's output mostly came from scoring off other peoples' misses. Worth County was able to establish its press early and put the game away in the first quarter. Kaitlyn had 13 in the opening period, almost all of them off putbacks as she was cleaning up the glass. Sydney Thummel added four, one off a steal off the press and another after jumping a pass and getting a layup. Payton Adwell had 3 in the quarter and Rikky Hunt 2. Kaitlyn, Payton Adwell, Ally Buffington, and Sidney Troutwine all had an assist in the period. Alysa Lyle was shaken up in the previous game (hip) and was held out much of Thursday's game as a precautionary measure although she got some minutes in. Worth County led 22-6 after one quarter.
Kaitlyn continued to work the offensive glass in the second quarter, getting nine more points as Worth County continued to pull away. Sydney Thummel followed with 3 points. Coach Josh Smith began to substitute in the second quarter and Aubrey Staton came off the bench to score her first career points, a shot from the high post off a pass from Thummel to put Worth County up 36-8 at the break.
There was a scare in the third quarter as Kaitlyn crashed into the West Nodaway bleachers, which are really close to the floor, going after a loose ball. She was shaken up, but she returned later in the quarter to collect three points. Aubrey Ragan came off the bench to score her first career points, a 3-pointer from the right wing off a pass from Sidney Troutwine. Sydney Thummel scored off a steal and Payton Adwell also collected two points as Worth County led 46-18 after three. Rikky Hunt and Sidney Troutwine each had one assist.
Kaitlyn Davidson had two assists in the fourth quarter as Aubrey Ragan's shot from the left wing triggered the running clock and Payton Adwell also scored in the period for the Tigers.
Kaitlyn led the Tigers with 25 points. Sydney Thummel followed with 9, Payton Adwell had 7, Aubrey Ragan had 5, and Rikky Hunt and Aubrey Staton had 2 each.
The boys led by as much as 13 against West Nodaway, but they lost their composure and the game in the fourth quarter as they fell 56-55. West Nodaway pressed them through most of the game with a zone press. However, when they switched to a man to man press, the Tigers didn't know how to break it and panicked, letting the Rockets right back into the game. In all three of their losses, the boys have let the other team's best scorer run wild on them. Thursday was no exception, as they let Trevor Meyer score 22 points against them. In their losses to Princeton, they let Brant Faulkner run wild against them, including a 27-point outburst in the first game.
Chris Alarcon had 22 points to pace the Tigers, a career high. Josh Warner had 10, Cade Allee 8, Drake Kinsella 6, Mason Hawk 5, Truman Moore 3, and Ryan McClellan 1.
