It turns out that the North Nodaway boys basketball recordbook needs to be rewritten. Cody Wood scored 41 points in an overtime win over South Holt earlier this year, which makes him the single game overtime record holder.
We thought Peyton Coleman held the single game scoring record for a regulation game with 37 points. However, it turns out that Chris Brown hung 38 points on Tarkio in a losing effort in 1977.
The Mustang boys that year started off promising, with a consolation trophy at the Worth County Tournament, which started off the season back then. But then it turned into a long year. Brown provided a highlight in that game even though the Mustangs lost 81-72. The game was played on February 4th, 1977 and was subsequently reported on in the February 10th, 1977 Hopkins Journal.
The single game leaderboard now looks as follows:
Cody Wood, 41 points (Overtime) (2019) vs. South Holt.
Chris Brown, 38 Points (Regulation) (1977) vs. Tarkio.
Peyton Coleman, 37 Points (2017) vs. East Atchison.
Peyton Coleman, 36 Points (2016) vs. NEN.
Jason DeMott, 36 Points (2010).
Peyton Coleman, 35 Points (2016) vs. Northland Christian.
Wren Peve holds the single game record for the Hopkins School with 57 points; that was before the merger with Pickering, when Hopkins was still known as the Bulldogs.
The 2015 boys team that won the Northwest Missouri Tournament did so for the first time in decades. We thought the Mustangs had done so in 1983-84; however, while they won the 275 Conference Title and beat Roger Riley and NEN that year, they did not win a tournament. We have gone back to the 1976-77 season, and the tournament title drought extends beyond that.
