North Nodaway's boys played what they felt was a forgettable 52-44 loss to East Harrison earlier in the year that dropped them into the fifth spot behind the Bobcats in district seedings. "Ever since the final buzzer sounded, we've been preparing for this game," said Coach Jake Shipman. The Mustangs recovered to win 16 games in their regular season, take a shot at the 275 title that came up just short, and come into last Tuesday's game with a chance for revenge. They got it as they turned the tables and beat the Bobcats 52-46 despite battling foul trouble from both of their leading scorers.
It looked like Peyton Coleman was going to have a big night for them as he scored the first five points to give Jake Shipman's team a 5-2 lead. But he went to the bench with two quick fouls. Koby Reynolds had consecutive NBA 3-pointers to make it 11-4, but then Matt Dice's team took advantage of Peyton Coleman's absence and came back to lead 12-11 as North Nodaway went through a four minute scoring drought before Reynolds was fouled attempting a 3-pointer at the buzzer and hit two out of three to put North Nodaway up 13-12.
North Nodaway played one of its better quarters of the year in the second frame as they got all kinds of scoring from their supporting cast. Wyatt Tate scored six in the frame, getting a putback, a backdoor layup off a pass from Koby Reynolds, and a driving layup; he also took a charge on defense. Ben Hart had a free throw while Dakota Smyser converted a drive into a three point play after he got the call on a charge/block situation. North Nodaway went ahead 30-26 at the break when Peyton Coleman skipped a pass to Koby Reynolds for a 3-pointer on the left wing at the buzzer.
But then the game threatened to go off the rails in the third period. North Nodaway couldn't buy a board in the first four minutes of the period as the Bobcats fought back to tie at 32. Then, things threatened to snowball from there as Koby Reynolds picked up his fourth foul and had to come out. With him out of the game, East Harrison took full advantage, pushing their lead up to 40-32 as North Nodaway went through a five-minute scoring drought. Someone had to step up and finally, Peyton Coleman hit Ben Hart cutting inside and Daytona Lutz hit a free throw to cut North Nodaway's deficit to five at 40-35.
Lutz really stepped up big during that stretch with Reynolds on the bench. He opened the fourth by hitting Coleman for a triple to start the fourth, then added one of his own with 5:16 left to make it 43-41; Koby came back in moments later. Joe Rinehart's free throw made it 44-41 and East Harrison got the ball back, but then North Nodaway, who had rarely blocked a shot all year, came up with one as Dakota Smyser's block flipped the scoreboard as Peyton Coleman went the other way coast to coast to make it 44-43 instead of 46-41. East Harrison tried to take it in again, but then Coleman's monster stuff set up another good transition look and he knocked down a free throw to make it tied at 44.
Both sides missed two chances to take the lead, but then finally Koby Reynolds drove to the basket to put North Nodaway in front, only to see Joe Rinehart tie it up again with 1:25 left. East Harrison tried to trap Koby Reynolds and get the ball out of his hands, but Peyton Coleman exploded to the rim against three orange shirts and hit both free throws to make it 48-46 with 1:02 left.
Justin Roberts tried to tie it up for his mates, but his runner off a drive went in and out. Koby Reynolds missed a 1 and 1 with 34 seconds, but with Waylen Carlson taking it in for a tie, Ben Hart played perfect help defense and set to take a charge, forcing a traveling call. East Harrison tried to tie up Peyton Coleman in the backcourt, but Joe Rinehart fouled out trying to get the ball and Coleman went 2 for 2 from the line with 19.3 seconds left. East Harrison had two good looks in the closing seconds, but Ethan Claycomb missed from the baseline and Carlson missed a putback try and Coleman hit two more to seal the win.
Peyton Coleman led the scoring for North Nodaway with 20 points. Koby Reynolds had 14, Wyatt Tate 6, Ben Hart 5, Daytona Lutz 4, and Dakota Smyser had 3. Peyton Coleman and Koby Reynolds each had 3 assists. Wyatt Tate and Peyton Coleman each took a charge on defense. Peyton Coleman had 2 blocks while Dakota Smyser and Ben Hart had 1 each. Dakota Smyser had 3 steals; Daytona Lutz, Koby Reynolds, and Peyton Coleman had 1 each.
North Nodaway matched up well with Stanberry last year, but the same could not be said of this year's matchup. They got off to a promising start, with Koby Reynolds scoring five quick points and Dakota Smyser scoring off a steal to put North Nodaway up 7-5. But then two good looks went in and out, Stanberry converted on the other end in transition, and the layup drill was on for Stanberry. By the time the dust had settled, they were down 34-7 early in the second and went on to fall 74-28 to the undefeated Bulldogs, ending their season at 17-10. Koby Reynolds had 16 points to lead North Nodaway. The girls, after beating Northeast Nodaway in their district opener, fell to Jefferson in the semifinals 48-10 and ended their season at 12-14.

Tigers Win First District Game in Four Years; Down Rockets for 18th Win
Worth County capped off a strong season by winning its 18th game and winning its first district game in four years, knocking off West Nodaway 59-36. The game was a defensive struggle, but the shooting percentages told the tale; Worth County shot 38% for the night, not one of their better shooting nights. But West Nodaway shot 25% for the night.
In the first meeting between the two teams, Blake Farnan picked up two quick fouls in Worth County's 67-33 win and was not a factor. But in the second game, he stayed on the floor and was able to match Worth County stride for stride for a while. He scored the first eight points for West Nodaway; however, Drake Kinsella topped that and scored 12 points in the period as Worth County built up a 16-13 lead. Cade Allee added two when West Nodaway knocked his dunk attempt out of the rim and they were called for goaltending; Brevyn Ross added a coast to coast look.
The second quarter started off like a lot of second quarters have for Worth County as they got a lot of close looks, but they were going in and out. Korbin Koch's shot from behind the arc put West Nodaway in front 17-16, but then Drake Kinsella answered with a 3-pointer of his own and Drake Simmons hit Brevyn Ross in transition to move Worth County up 23-19. Farnan hit a backdoor look and West Nodaway got the ball back with a chance to tie, but consecutive steals from Ryan McClellan sent Worth County off to the races. Mason Hawk followed with a third chance putback; Drake Kinsella's block set up Ryan McClellan's bounce pass to Caleb Parman for a baseline shot, and Brevyn Ross added a steal and two free throws to make it 31-19 with 56 seconds left in the half. Farnan hit a closely guarded 3-pointer over Drake Kinsella, but Ross rushed it up the floor and took on Farnan and Jakob Cordell, converting a layup with five seconds left to put Worth County back into double digit territory at 33-22.
Worth County's third quarter started off well as Drake Kinsella got loose inside and got a pass from McClellan and Ryan pushed one ahead to Drake for another basket as well. Brevyn Ross added two free throws and McClellan one as Worth County went up by 18 at 40-22. But then Farnan stopped the bleeding with yet another 3-pointer. Mason Hawk had a tipin and blocked a shot, which led to a Ben Badell strike to Hawk inside to make it 44-26 again, but then Worth County fell into sloppy play and hacking and fouling as West Nodaway began chipping away at the free throw line.
It looked like the Polo game all over again as the bleeding progressed into the fourth quarter and the Rockets got to within 44-34, but then Brevyn Ross hit Drake Simmons for a 3-pointer to stop the bleeding. Korbin Koch hit a free throw for West Nodaway, but then Drake Kinsella took over the game again, airing it out on consecutive plays to Brevyn Ross and Cade Allee in what turned out to be the backbreaker.
Koch hit a shot for West Nodaway to close to within 52-36 with 2:58 left, but that was as close as they would get. All of a sudden, Isaac Alarcon, who had not scored all night, took over the game by scoring the last seven points. Brevyn Ross hit him with a pass to the high post and he drove and finished for a 3-point play; he added a putback and a fast break after another pass from Ross.
Drake Kinsella led the scoring with 19 points; it was the second time in a row that he had 19 against the Rockets. Brevyn Ross had 13, Isaac Alarcon had 7, Mason Hawk had 6, Ryan McClellan had 5, Cade Allee 4, Drake Simmons 3, and Caleb Parman 2. Ryan McClellan and Brevyn Ross had 4 assists each; Drake Kinsella had 3, Cade Allee 2, and Mason Hawk, Isaac Alarcon, Drake Simmons, and Ben Badell each had 1. Ryan McClellan had 5 steals, Cade Allee and Drake Simmons 3, Drake Kinsella, Brevyn Ross, Mason Hawk, and Isaac Alarcon all had 2, and Caleb Parman had 1.

Worth County Boys Can't Escape Foul Problems; Fall to Jefferson in Semifinals
Worth County's boys fell victim to a rash of hacking and fouling in the district tournament as they fell to Jefferson 57-47 in the semifinals. They were able to survive West Nodaway for their first district win in four years. But they were not able to survive the likes of Jefferson. Tim Jermain's Eagles went to the line 21 times to only 9 for the Tigers; Jefferson made 14 free throws to 6 for Worth County. That accounted for most of the difference in the game.
The first part of the game looked promising for Worth County as Brevyn Ross aired the ball out to Cade Allee on a fast break and then went coast to coast against three Eagle defenders to put Worth County up 4-0, getting Jermain agitated and up in arms at the officials. But then Jefferson shot their way back in as Ben Jermain and Michael Burch hit triples to put their team up 6-4; as Ross sat on the bench with two quick fouls, they grew their lead to as big as 16-8 in the second quarter. It looked like a repeat of the first game, where Worth County realized too late that they could play basketball with this squad.
But then Ben Badell came off the bench and played his best quarter of the year, getting loose for a backdoor pass from Mason Hawk, knocking down a drive off a pass from Ross, and throwing up a floater after getting a pass from Brevyn and going down the left side. That helped bring Worth County back in front at 19-18 before Caden Farnan posted up inside for two and Burch hit two free throws to put Jefferson up 22-19 at the break.
It looked like Jefferson would finally start to pull away as Jermain knocked one down from behind the arc 11 seconds into the second half, but then Ryan McClellan hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Mason Hawk, Brevyn Ross stole the ensuing inbounds pass, and Worth County got five different looks at the basket, to Coach Jermain's consternation, before Brevyn Ross kicked one out to Drake Kinsella to tie it up at 25.
Worth County then went in front as Brevyn Ross hit Cade Allee for a 3-pointer from the right side and then Ryan McClellan found him at the top of the key to make it 33-32 with 4:24 left in the quarter. But sometimes, when you catch someone, you use up all your energy to get back in the game and then have none left. Ross picked up his third foul and sat down, and Jefferson scored the last 12 points of the quarter as Worth County went cold. They scored 14 points in the first 3:36 and then went scoreless for the rest of the third quarter. Being able to score consistently will be a goal for the team next year, along with playing defense without fouling people.
With Jefferson up 44-33 after three, that amounted to a death sentence, since they have the ability to run the clock at will with a lead of that nature. Cade Allee opened the scoring with another 3-pointer, but then Jefferson got a pair of backdoor looks to counter, and they were able to control the game and the clock most of the way. With 1:13 left, Drake Simmons scored off a drive and converted a 3-point play to make it 57-47 and the Tigers got a glimmer of hope as they got a steal and finally got a chance to get the game under double digits. But Allee missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key and Jefferson ran out the final minute for the win.
Cade Allee had 12 points for the Tigers. Drake Kinsella and Ryan McClellan had 8, Ben Badell 6, Drake Simmons 5, Brevyn Ross 4, and Isaac Alarcon and Mason Hawk had 2, Brevyn Ross had 6 assists; Ryan McClellan and Mason Hawk had 2, and Drake Simmons and Cade Allee had 1 each.

Obituary -- Betty Robertson 1932-2016
Betty Jane Robertson was born the 2nd of March, 1932, the third of seven children born to Jesse and Lucy Barnhart Roach, near Allendale, Missouri. She passed away peacefully at Clearview Nursing Home in Mt. Ayr, Iowa, on the 22nd of February, 2016.
On June 27, 1949, she was united in marriage to her childhood sweetheart, James Walker (J.W.) Robertson, in Grant City, Missouri, before a Justice of the Peace, and celebrated 65 years of marriage before J.W.'s death in 2014. To this union, five children were born, Billy Lee, Mary Jane, Wanda Sue, Kenneth Eugene, and James Michael. Their home was always open to the children in the community, and many of these children considered them their adoptive parents.
In the early years of her marriage, Betty stayed home raising her five children. She shared her cooking skills first in her own business when she owned and operated the Redding Café on the town square for two years in the 1960's. After closing the café, she went to work as a seamstress for many years at the Grant City Cap Factory in Grant City, Missouri, and then at O'Bryan Brothers in Bedford, Iowa. When O'Bryan Brothers closed, she kept busy at home as a seamstress and day care provider, but, most importantly, as wife and mom.
Betty was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She liked to keep busy and had many hobbies that included cooking, sewing, quilting, crafting with J.W., among other things. She especially enjoyed gardening with J.W., and she loved sharing her canned goods and homemade goodies with family, friends and neighbors. What she loved most was spending time with J.W., and seldom was one seen without the other and without a smile on their faces. They truly enjoyed each other's company. Betty and J.W. enjoyed many years of traveling with their children and their children's families to various parts of the country and spent 15 years as winter Texans with many other Ringgold County friends.
Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were especially dear to her, and they loved spending time with their grandma. Her home was always home to all the children in the community and to her many nieces and nephews, and she will always be remembered as everyone's mom and everyone's friend.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Edna (Roach) Baker; and brothers, Ernest Roach and Loyd Roach.
Survivors include her children, Billy Lee Robertson (Karen) of Nixa Missouri, Mary Jane Jones (Ron) of Clever, Missouri, Wanda Sue Hosfield (Doug) of Mt. Ayr, Iowa, Kenneth Eugene Robertson (Debra) of Mt. Ayr, Iowa, and James Michael Robertson (Mary Beth) of Omaha, Nebraska; grandchildren, Jesse Robertson (Melissa), Julie Tommingo (Ross), Eric Jones (Erica), Brandon Jones (Kalyne Lynch), David Hosfield, Cass Hosfield (Annie), Jeff Robertson, Justin Robertson (Kim), Nichole Jensen (Bryan), Brianne Curtis (Chaz), Stephanie Robertson (Hector Martinez); 14 great grandchildren; sister, Marie Campbell (Everett); brothers, Darrell Roach (Kathy) and Harvey Roach (Eldeen). She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.
Memorial contributions are being accepted for a gift to the Redding community in her memory.

Ryan McClellan Swipes 8; Tiger Winning Streak Reaches Six
Fresh off stealing six against Albany, Ryan McClellan stole eight against Maysville as Worth County continued its winning ways, getting a 61-53 win over the Wolverines. The reason Worth County has been able to win games all of a sudden is their defense; they have held opponents to 47, 57, 35, 44, 34, and 53 during the streak. The emergence of Ryan McClellan has been another; he has taken his game to another level after putting on a few inches since last year. The third reason is the play of Isaac Alarcon; he put up a career high 16 points Monday night against Maysville. His point production has gone up during the streak; he put up 13 against Nodaway-Holt, 9 against Albany, and got a game-winning steal against the Warriors to jump-start the streak as well.
While he is more known for getting steals, it was Ryan's legs which provided the key turning point in the game. Worth County was up 52-49 late in the fourth, but Maysville was going in for a fast break. But Ryan McClellan of all people altered the shot. Maysville got the ball back, but then Ben Badell knocked the ball loose after a scramble and Cade Allee picked up the loose ball and got it to Drake Simmons for a layup to create a four point swing. Instead of 52-51, Worth County was up 54-49. Then, Maysville rushed the ball right back up the floor and had a good transition look, but inexplicably, the coach called a timeout. They hit a tough shot coming out, but the break seemed to benefit Worth County as they took it right back down the floor and Ryan McClellan hit Cade Allee inside to make it 56-51.
Maysville made another mistake on its next possession. Worth County got a stop and Drake Simmons got a perfect boxout and defensive board when one of the Wolverine players went over his back and collected a foul, 70 feet from the basket. Simmons knocked down the free throws; thanks to the gift foul, they were up three possessions at 58-51. The Wolverines hit two free throws on their next possession, but then they had to start fouling with the clock running down to a minute and Simmons hit three out of four free throws down the stretch to preserve the win for Worth County. He had 10 points in the final quarter to carry the Tigers.
It looked like a clinic at first for Worth County in the first quarter. Ryan McClellan scored four points off a drive and a steal, Isaac Alarcon made some unbelievable plays on his way to eight points in the period as he was outjumping, outmuscling, and outworking the taller Maysville players. Mason Hawk also added four points. Worth County led 20-14 and added to it when Ben Badell pushed one ahead to Isaac Alarcon for a layup to make it 22-14 to start the second quarter, but then Worth County had one of those defensive lapses that can let a team right back in the game. Nobody got back on defense and Maysville got an easy layup on them to get the points right back. Sure enough, Maysville began chipping away at the lead and getting on the line; by halftime, Maysville had erased Worth County's lead and went up 28-27.
It looked like a game between the two squads from two years ago on the same court as Maysville went on a 7-2 run to start the third and go up 36-29. Two years ago, Worth County had let a promising start slip away as Maysville came back and won by four. But Worth County came back by getting on the line and changing the tempo of the game to a much faster pace; the chaotic pace helped Worth County get back in. Isaac Alarcon was outworking and outmuscling people, Ben Badell added a 3-point, play, and Mason Hawk added a couple of free throws as Worth County closed to within one at 39-38. Finally, Isaac Alarcon channeled Ryan McClellan and stripped one of the Maysville guards and went in for a layup to make it 40-39.
Maysville scored off an inbounds play to move back in front, but Mason Hawk's putback and Caleb Parman's free throws gave Worth County a 44-41 lead after three, a lead it would not relinquish.
Isaac Alarcon had 16 points and Drake Simmons had 12 for the Tigers. The two freshmen combined for almost half of Worth County's points. Mason Hawk had 8, Caleb Parman, Ben Badell, and Cade Allee all had 5, Ryan McClellan and Brevyn Ross had 4, and Drake Kinsella had 2. Drake Kinsella had 4 assists, Isaac Alarcon and Ryan McClellan had 3, Ben Badell and Brevyn Ross had 2, and Cade Allee had 1. Mason Hawk had 3 rejections; Drake Kinsella had 2, Cade Allee had 1, and Isaac Alarcon 1, a monster stuff that went into the stage. Ryan McClellan had 8 steals while Isaac Alarcon had 3, Cade Allee and Drake Kinsella 2, and Mason Hawk 1.
