Eli Scroggie Helps NEN Boys Beat East Atchison

Eli Scroggie helped Northeast Nodaway’s boys withstand a 3-point barrage by East Atchison as Northeast held off the Wolves 42-40 last Tuesday. Northeast Nodaway built up a 19-13 lead and then held off East Atchison the rest of the way for the win. The Wolves had six 3-pointers in the game.

East Atchison got within three by the end of three, but could not finish the deal. For Northeast, Eli Scroggie had 20 points to carry his team. Cameron Staples had 7, Spencer Weir and Dylan Mildfeldt had 6 each, Mitchell Sherry had 2, and Brayden Welch had 1. Northeast shot 9 for 12 from the line.

The girls were not so fortunate as they couldn’t stop Jaycee Graves, who ran wild over them with 32 points. Northeast got off to a promising start by taking a 12-9 first quarter lead, but then all hell broke loose as they gave up 20 points in the second quarter to trail 29-22. It got worse from there as they could not buy a bucket in the second half and fell 60-30 to East Atchison, which has beaten the likes of North Andrew this year.

Makayla Adwell had 15 points to lead NEN. Gerry Runde had 6, Madelynn Mattson 5, Cassy Redden 2, and Paige West 2. Northeast was 13 for 18 from the foul line. Gerry Runde had one 3-pointer for the Bluejays.
