NEN Girls Down DeKalb in PVC Tournament, Fall to North Andrew

Northeast Nodaway's girls picked up their second win of the season, 33-25 over DeKalb in a defensive gem. Jill Spire, after being limited by foul trouble against Albany, came alive with 12 points for Northeast. Dallis Coffelt followed with 11, Bailey Judd 5, Brianna Riley 3, and Vanessa Riley and Allie Runde with 1 each. The win is only Coach Vance Proffitt's second against the Tigers since beginning his tenure at Northeast.

It didn't come easy as Northeast built up an 11-9 lead after one. Northeast then held the Tigers scoreless in the second as they built it up to 15-9 at the break. DeKalb fought back to come to within 2 after three at 22-20, but Northeast finished the game strongly, outscoring them 10-5 to win the game. One of the goals going forward will be free throw shooting as they only shot 9 for 23 during the game.

But the bubble burst for Northeast against North Andrew Wednesday night as they fell to the North Andrew powerhouse 58-24. That will set up a 3rd place matchup for Northeast against either South Nodaway or Jefferson at Bearcat Arena Friday at 4:30.
