Bluejay Girls End Season With Nodaway-Holt Loss

Northeast Nodaway’s girls improved on their record from last year, winning 16 games in a shortened season. However, they ended it Monday with a 50-45 loss to Nodaway-Holt.

The Bluejays looked to be in control of the game, up 22-16 late in the first half. But a running 3-pointer by Shaina Culp at the buzzer cut it to 22-19 and completely swung the momentum in Nodaway-Holt’s favor. All hell broke loose in the third, with the Trojans scoring 21 points in the third to take a 40-34 lead after three, and NEN spent the rest of the game playing catchup.

The focus of the game was on stopping Breanna Day; they limited her to six points. However, the Trojans got 16 from Culp and 13 from Kloe Jenkins in the win.

NEN had three players in double figures. Makayla Adwell had 14 points, while Paige West had 12 and Madelynn Mattson had 11. Gerry Runde had 4, while Alba Vozmediario and Blair Stoll had 2.
