Northeast Nodaway’s swarming defense got them their fourth win last Tuesday, beating North Nodaway 33-12. The game followed the script of the boys game; while the effort was there for the younger Mustang squad, the Bluejays continued to put games away by racking up the tips and steals, getting 25 tips and 26 steals.
Jackie Wray, only a seventh grader, did all she could to keep the Mustangs in the game; she was a rebounding machine for North Nodaway, getting 11 boards, and the Mustangs outrebounded NEN 23-18. But the Mustangs turned the ball over 27 times, while Northeast surrendered the ball only 15 times.
Emily Keho opened the scoring for North Nodaway with a nifty runner down the right baseline, but then Baylee Busby started putting on a clinic for the Bluejays, first getting a steal and a layup to knot it at 2-2. Hadley DeFreece got her the ball in the high post, and Baylee Busby took it to the rim and scored, converting the three point play to make it 5-2. Busby, despite playing with two fouls, proceeded to clean up on a pair of misses and score off a steal, while Hadley DeFreece hit Lindsey Jackson for a score as Northeast led 13-2 after one.
The Bluejays usually need a quarter to feel out their opponents, then they turn it into high gear in the second quarter. They did so again last Tuesday as Busby continued to carry the team on her shoulders, getting a steal to start the period and feeding Hadley DeFreece. Busby then got her point total up to 21 for the half, getting two steals, scoring off a drive after getting a pass from DeFreece, and scoring off another play in which she flung it up from the high post and it somehow went in.
Busby scored off a pair of drives in the third before she was done for the night. Jackie Wray got untracked with a putback and a shot from the high post in the third and Lacy Riley added a putback as the Mustangs trailed 31-8 after three.
