Ryan Riley Breaks Out, But Mustang Teams Fall

Ryan Riley had a breakout game for the North Nodaway boys, but both Mustang teams fell to Mound City last Tuesday.

Unlike the first game, the Mustangs were able to go the distance against Mound City and they jumped out to a 15-10 lead after one. But then all hell broke loose in the second and they were outscored 22-6 and trailed 32-21 at the half. They were able to stop the bleeding in the second half, but it was too late.

Tyler Bix had 13 to lead North Nodaway and Ryan Riley had 11 and three 3-pointer. Coach Jake Shipman had been looking for Riley to start scoring more for his squad, and he responded in Tuesday’s game. Cole Bird had 7 and Arron Coleman had 6. The Mustang shot themselves in the foot at the free throw line, where they were 3 for 12. Mound City was 11 for 20.

On the girls side, the girls played three quarters against Mound City and were down 35-25 going into the fourth. But they were outscored 17-5 in the fourth and fell 52-30. Alisha Davison led the scoring with 13 points and three 3-pointers. Kristin Herndon had 6, Ashley Thompson 5, Audrey Trimble 3 points and one 3-pointer, Keagan O’Riley had 2, and Kandace Damgar 1.

The girls were 4 for 8 at the free throw line, while Mound City was 15 for 24. That accounted for half of Mound City’s margin of victory.
