Worth County’s basketball team picked up right where football left off. Last Tuesday, they held off a late Princeton rally and won 71-56 in Princeton just three days removed from winning their seventh state title. Monday, they dismantled Albany 64-21 in the first round of the Albany Tournament.
Albany had shown some promise in their 64-42 loss to Northeast Nodaway, leading by as much as eight in the third quarter before fading against the Bluejays.

Seth Bennett scored off a drive for Albany, but Mason Hawk aired one out to Drake Kinsella, who hit one of two free throws and Ryan McClellan hit an unguarded Cade Allee for a triple in the corner to make it 17-4 after one.
Worth County pushed the margin over 20 after the break as Cade Allee scored off a drive. Caleb Parman airballed a 3-pointer, but Isaac Alarcon was there for the putback. Cade Allee hit a cutting Alarcon, and Isaac Alarcon found Caleb Parman at the top of the key to make it 26-4.

Lane Watson hit a free throw, but Caleb Parman drove and hit Drake Kinsella on a backdoor look to make it 35-9 at halftime.
