Baylee Busby scored 13 and had 13 steals as the Northeast Nodaway junior high girls beat King City, a team that had beaten them twice last year, 29-11 Monday night. The Bluejays started off slowly, falling behind 3-0 in the first few minutes of the game. But then, their defensive pressure started paying off and they were getting tips and steals right and left and got right back into the game.
Lindsey Jackson hit an outside shot, Busby knotted it up with a free throw, and then Busby got a steal and got it to Sasha Deardorff to put the Bluejays up 5-3. Busby hit from the high post, Makenzie Pride got a putback, and Skyler Florea scored off a drive to put NEN up 11-3 after one. The big difference was that they were playing from ahead, rather than from behind.
Busby scored off a pair of steals in the second and Florea scored off another drive to put the Bluejays up 17-5 at the half.
Instead of giving King City hope, the Bluejays continued to pull away in the third quarter despite foul trouble. Baylee converted a three point play to start off the period and later got another steal and put one in over the much taller Clare Staley. Makenzie Pride got the hot hand in the period, knocking down a couple of shots from the high post, and Hadley DeFreece hit from the outside to give Northeast its biggest lead of the night at 29-7 early in the fourth.
