Mustang Girls Survive Rock Port

North Nodaway’s girls survived Rock Port and advanced on to the semifinal round against Jefferson with a 45-36 win. The Mustangs took an early 14-8 lead against Rock Port, but the Blue Jays had beaten the Mustangs for the last few years and had their number. Sure enough, they chipped away for the next two quarters, getting their deficit down to 33-31. But North Nodaway used a strong fourth quarter to pull away, surviving a 6 for 15 night from the line. Kristin Herndon had 14, Keagan O’Riley 12, Audrey Trimble 8, Kandace Damgar 4, Emma Hart 3, and Saylor Brown 2. Herndon had two 3-pointers and Damgar had one.
