North Nodaway’s junior high boys looked to be well on their way to their first win last Tuesday. But then Franklynn Hoff’s improbable basket in the second sparked the Tigers to a halftime lead that they would not relinquish, and the Tigers pulled away to a 35-21 win.
Mason Richardson took the Mustangs on his shoulders and carried them to a 5-1 lead after the first quarter, scoring all five of their points. He knocked one down from the high post and converted a three point play, and added a shot from the wing off a pass from Owen Martin. Worth County countered with a free throw from Jace Cameron.
But then a totally different Tiger team took the floor to start the second quarter. First, Cannon Fletcher scored off a drive. Later, the Tigers were fighting for an offensive board when Franklynn Hoff grabbed it and flung it 20 feet into the air as he was being fouled. Improbably, the ball dropped in, nothing but net. He missed the free throw, but the play sparked the team to one of their most productive quarters this year.
The game was tied up at 5, 7, and 9, but then Brayden Stevens hit consecutive 3-pointers and an inside shot and the Tigers pulled away to a 17-10 lead at the half.
Owen Martin knocked one down from the high post to start the second half, but then Cannon Fletcher got loose after Karson Briner got a steal and got it to Brayden Stevens. Franklynn Hoff added another layup after Cannon Fletcher got a tip and steal to make it 21-12. Transition baskets from Carter Chapman and Andrew Griffin made it 25-12 before North Nodaway showed some life at the end of the third. First, Owen Martin got a putback; then, Mason Richardson cleaned up after Laythen Ebrecht got a steal to get it under double digits at 25-16.
North Nodaway continued to chip away as Mason Richardson got a free throw to start the fourth. Karson Briner countered with a backdoor look off a pass from Brayden Stevens, but then Owen Martin scored in transition and Damon Carroll hit Mason Richardson to get it to 27-21, still plenty of time for North Nodaway. But then Franklynn Hoff took over for the Tigers, twice hitting Cannon Fletcher in transition and scoring four points himself as the Tigers pulled back ahead by 14.
