Mustang JH Girls Win Third Straight Following Lapse

North Nodaway’s junior high girls, following a slow start, won their third straight game Thursday night as they pulled away for a 32-15 win over West Nodaway. It looked for all the world like a tight game would develop as the two teams kept trading buckets throughout the first and half of the second. It was 8-6 North Nodaway went finally, Jacqueline Cline drove to the rack to make it 10-6.

West Nodaway then stepped on the inbounds line when throwing it inbounds, giving North Nodaway a free possession. They took advantage and Saylor Brown cleaned up after a Cline miss. Then, Brown jumped a pass for a layup and the floodgates were open for North Nodaway.

Elaina Renfro knocked one down from the right side, Cline went coast to coast, and Felicia Wyllie got a free throw after Cline tipped one to her for a steal to make it 19-7 at the break.

West Nodaway tried to rally behind Riley Linville, their tall post player as North Nodaway couldn’t buy a board through the first part of the third quarter. The lead shrunk down to 22-13 at one point, but then Wyllie hit one on the left wing after Cline skipped one to her, then Cline hit from the right side off an inbounds pass from Kelsey Barcus to make it 26-13 after one. North Nodaway put down the clamps on defense in the fourth, only allowing two points as Barcus hit Cline again on the baseline, Wyllie scored off a steal, and Saylor Brown got a driving layup in the fourth period.

The boys game got out of hand early as West Nodaway was swarming and pressing and everything they threw up was going in against their old coach, Roger Johnson, who is now coaching North Nodaway’s Junior High. The Rockets jumped out to a 17-5 lead after one quarter. Hunter Carlson and the Mustangs tried to rally in the second, but the Rockets continued to pull away slowly to lead 30-13 at the break before the bottom dropped out in the third quarter and the Rockets took the 54-19 running clock victory.
