Mustangs Celebrate Senior Night; Sweep Rockets

North Nodaway’s teams swept West Nodaway Thursday night and gave their seniors a successful sendoff.

The girls beat West Nodaway 62-30 after having barely beaten them in Burlington Junction earlier this year. With the win, the girls won their second straight after losing to Worth County and posted their 15th win of the year. With their win, they marked the most games they have won in the Sami Jackson era and the most they have won since the 2006-2007 season.

This year also marked the 50th career win for Coach Sami at North Nodaway. Worth County denied her bid on January 22nd at the Northwest Missouri Tournament with a 52-43 loss, but she accomplished the mark on the 23rd with North Nodaway’s 38-28 win over West Nodaway.

Recognized on Senior Night were Taylor Combs, Alisha Davison, Brittney Leach, and exchange student Veronica Ghedini from Italy.

The boys also saw success; playing in a lot of low-scoring games this year, they nonetheless won a wild game over West Nodaway 73-66 to get their seventh win of the year. Coach Jake Shipman also marked his 50th career win at North Nodaway. He also got his win against West Nodaway, with a 56-54 win over the Rockets in Burlington Junction. Seeing their final game were senior Cole Bird and exchange student Lucas Alvarez from Spain.
