Last week, Dylan Mildfeldt scored his 1,000th career point for the Northeast Nodaway boys. He is a senior this year. A sparkplug for the Bluejays, he has started since he was a freshman and his teams have been improving every year on his watch. During his freshman year, NEN only won two games and three his sophomore year. But last year saw a big turnaround, with NEN winning 11 games.
This year saw the boys finally clinch their first winning season since the 2010-2011 year. They were in a tailspin following a 68-56 loss to Princeton at Gilman City; they had lost five out of their last six after a promising start to the season. But they have turned that around in the last few weeks, winning seven out of their last eight and getting their 17th win of the season Wednesday night against South Nodaway.
NEN has beaten some quality opponents this year. After getting an overtime win on the Northwest Missouri State floor over South Nodaway, reversing previous struggles there, they beat Stanberry and East Atchison at home. They lost their last two games of the year and struggled at South Harrison before reversing their fortunes recently.
