Junior High Bluejay Boys Down Trojans For Third Win

Northeast Nodaway’s boys pulled away from Nodaway-Holt in the first half and got their third win, 43-19 over the Trojans. They got two in double figures as Ethan Gascoigne had 17 points and Landon Wilmes added 14. They had balanced numbers in all their statistical categories.

The game followed the script of the girls game; the guard play of Landon Wilmes and Drew Dack was able to create turnovers, and Ethan Gascoigne and Landon Wilmes were there for the finish, while everyone else chipped in for the blue shirts. 

Landon Wilmes scored a quick bucket, and then Ethan Gascoigne scored off a Wilmes steal, Drew Dack added a free throw, and Ethan Gascoigne scored from inside to give Northeast a 7-0 lead.

Parker Clement cut it to 7-2 for the Trojans, but then Landon Wilmes scored off a steal, Brady Cox got a putback, Jake Redden stepped outside to knock one down, Ethan Gascoigne scored off a Cox steal and Dack feed, and then Landon Wilmes got a tip and steal and fed Gascoigne at the buzzer to make it 17-2.

Sharpshooter Jackson Culp countered with a 3-pointer at the start of the second, but Jake Redden scored from inside off a pass from Landon Wilmes, Drew Dack hit Ethan Gascoigne in the high post, Dack added a free throw, and then Dack got three quick steals in the last two minutes of the first half for the Bluejays. Gascoigne got a putback off one, Wilmes scored off one of Dack’s steals, and then Wilmes hit from the left side at the buzzer off a pass from Gascoigne to put the Bluejays up 28-5 at the half. 

Ethan Gascoigne and Landon Wilmes scored off steals to start the second half to make it 32-5 before Northeast began subbing freely the rest of the way.

The bank was open for Kenneth Schieber late in the fourth as he hit from the high post for his first points as a Bluejay.
