Bluejay Junior High Teams Sweep East Atchison, Advance to Semifinals

Northeast Nodaway’s junior high teams swept the East Atchison “B” squads Tuesday at the NEN Junior High Tournament Tuesday.

The girls won 32-13, with Baylie Busby matching a career high with 22 points. Northeast Nodaway scored 16 in the first quarter with Busby supplying 14 of the team’s 16 points, stealing the ball and getting loose in transition at will. The Bluejays led 20-2 at the break.

Payton Woodring got the hot hand in the second half and cut it to 22-7 in the third quarter, but then Sasha Deardorff got wide open underneath the basket and didn’t realize how wide open she was, but she took a pass from Hadley DeFreece to kill the run. Cora Munns scored off a drive and then Baylie Busby came back in and scored coast to coast to make it 28-7 after three.
