Jessi Badell Scores 17 Points; Two Bad Quarters Keep Tiger Girls Winless

Worth County skipper Sean Thurm has had trouble finding anyone who can score for his Tigers this year. That changed Monday night at Nodaway-Holt as Jessi Badell, only a freshman, scored 17 points for the Tigers. That was the highest point total for anyone on the squad so far. But another bug, the bad quarter, kept his squad winless in 13 tries. They dug themselves into a 15-5 hole to start the game and then were outscored 19-8 coming out of the halftime break. They played evenly with the Trojans the rest of the way, but the damage was done as they fell 54-34.

Besides Badell, Haley Hunt had 10, Rikky Hunt had 5, and Payton Adwell had 2. Haley Hunt had the lone 3-pointer for the Tigers. Worth County shot well from the line, going 11 for 13. If they can avoid the bad quarter, get Badell or someone else to score consistently, and get to the line more often, they will have a chance to finally capture that elusive first win.
