NEN Girls Rout Tarkio

Northeast Nodaway’s girls routed Tarkio 47-27 to gain their third straight win last Tuesday. They took a 9-3 lead after one quarter and then scored 18 in the second to take a 27-9 lead at halftime. Tarkio made a comeback bid in the third quarter, but Northeast reestablished control in the fourth.

Dallis Coffelt had 16 to lead Northeast. Coach Joyce Stiens found some newfound strength from outside as Taylor Coffelt hit 12 points and two 3-pointers. Jill Spire had 8, Makayla Adwell 7, and Talina Nelson 4. Northeast hit their free throws, going 11 for 17 from the line.

The boys, however, did not follow suit as they only got four players in the scoring column and lost 50-34 to Tarkio. The Indians have already won more games this year than they did all of last year and they took a 24-10 lead at halftime. Northeast had one of their most productive quarters of the season in the third as they put up 17 points, but they could not capitalize on it as they fell 50-34. Max Giesken had 20, Spencer Weir had 6 along with Andrew Freemyer, and Colton Wilmes had 2. Northeast was 10 for 15 from the line.

The girls could not capitalize on their success in Stanberry as they fell 47-23 in a game that got out of hand early. Northeast could not get any offense going in the first half as they only scored five points and dug themselves into a 23-5 hole. On the other end, they struggled with their perimeter defense as they let Stanberry’s 3-point shooters run wild, getting seven 3-pointers for the night. It took them a half to realize they could play ball with Stanberry, and they played them evenly in the second half, but the damage was done. Makayla Adwell had 7 points to lead Northeast. Taylor Coffelt had 6, Dallis Coffelt and Jill Spire had 4, and Talina Nelson had 2.

The boys were completely outclassed by the state-ranked Stanberry squad, losing 73-18. They were down 22-2 after one, 46-11 at halftime, and things got worse from there. Max Giesken had 6, Spencer Weir had 4, Eli Scroggie had 3, Dylan Mildfeldt and Rowdy West had 2, and Andrew Freemyer 1. Scroggie had a 3-pointer for Northeast.
