Junior High Mustang Boys Blitzed by Rockets

North Nodaway’s junior high boys had every reason Thursday to come into the game against West Nodaway on a high note. They had just won their second game of the year following a winless season the year before. But they were completely outclassed and outplayed, falling to West Nodaway 46-22 Thursday.

Bracxten Rohlmeier dropped a three on North Nodaway just over one minute into the game, and then all hell broke loose for the next five minutes as the Mustangs could not solve the Rocket press or keep the Rockets off the boards. They threw the ball away seven times in the first quarter, gave up five offensive boards, and only collected three boards total in the period as West Nodaway raced out to a 15-0 lead after one.

North Nodaway managed to stem the bleeding to some extent in the second quarter. They rebounded the ball better in the quarter, with Damian Dailey collecting five in the period. They did a better job of bringing the ball up the floor against the press. They got down 20-0 after Kayden Conn’s guarded three, but then Darron Bix’s free throw broke the ice for North Nodaway. Dailey’s putback was the first made basket for North Nodaway and then Kade Emery tipped one to himself for a basket at the buzzer to make it 24-5.

But then the bleeding started up again in the third quarter as West Nodaway was beating North Nodaway up and down the floor, growing the lead to 36-8 after three before North Nodaway put up 14 in the fourth against West Nodaway’s reserves.
