Ashley Thompson Gets Double Double as Mustang Girls Rout Trojans

Ashley Thompson got a double double as she got 17 points and 10 boards as North Nodaway’s girls rolled to their third victory against hapless Union Star 63-10.

The Trojans have not won since 2015-2016, when they won six games; they have been held to as little as three against Jefferson this year and they were held to three once last year as well. They scored over 20 points once last year and twice this year.

The result was predictable as North Nodaway took control early and never let up, even when the third string was playing. Ashley Thompson scored nine points, including a third chance putback; Audrey Trimble got her the ball twice and Kristin Herndon once in the first quarter. Alisha Davison added two three-pointers and a putback and Audrey Trimble added four more as North Nodaway led 23-0 after one. It was a blistering pace for a team that usually plays low-scoring games.

Madison Marriott got a putback and later banked one home for Star and Makayla Bell added a free throw; however, little else went wrong for North Nodaway in the second quarter except for Kristin Herndon throwing the ball to a Union Star cheerleader thinking it was Audrey Trimble. She more than made up for her rare miscue, cutting inside and getting a pass from Keagan O’Riley; she also nailed a 3-pointer off a pass from Alisha Davison and grabbed two third-chance putbacks, drawing the ire of the Union Star coach and getting nine points in the period. Ashley Thompson added 5, getting her total up to 14 and Audrey Trimble added four more as North Nodaway led 45-5 at the half.

The rest of the game was North Nodaway putting in their reserves, then later, mixing and matching starters and subs. Jadon Dobbins came off the bench to hit a 3-pointer and later added a drive. Even with the 3rd string in, North Nodaway was relentless in getting to the glass, getting 39 boards for the night; Karissa Oberhauser had a fourth-chance putback at one point. Brittney Leach added a drive every bit as good as Alisha Davison’s. Union Star didn’t get to double figures until Marriott hit an NBA 3-pointer at the fourth quarter buzzer.

Ashley Thompson led the scoring for North Nodaway with 17. Ten different Mustangs scored for the night; Kristin Herndon had 13, Alisha Davison 10, Audrey Trimble 8, Jadon Dobbins 5, and Keagan O’Riley, Kandace Damgar, Emma Hart, Karissa Oberhauser, and Brittney Leach all getting 2.
