Northeast Nodaway’s girls scored 20 in the first quarter and 25 more in the third as they won handily over Stewartsville 66-18.
Previously, Northeast had played down to some teams’ levels; against Nodaway-Holt, with four wins, they had only won 43-31. Against West Nodaway, with six wins, they had only won 48-33. Against South Harrison, with two wins, they were only up one at one point in the third quarter before winning by 16, at 61-45. But against Stewartsville, there was no such problem. They are now at 13-7 after winning their second straight and have clinched at least a .500 season. Their magic number for a winning season is now one, and they have more than doubled their win total from last year, when they won six.
They got scoring from all of their usual sources; Gerry Runde donned her Steph Curry act and hit 17 points and five threes. Makayla Adwell also had 17, while six-footer Madelynn Mattson had 13. But it was West, more known for her defense, who was the pleasant surprise for NEN, getting 12. Angela Standiford, getting better every single game, posted a new career high with 5, while Tierney Privett had 2.
It helped that the Bluejays shot well from the free throw line; they were 11 for 15 from the line in that game.
The boys also won, getting a 59-28 victory over the Cardinals. They are now at 12-8 and their magic number for a winning season is at two.
