North Harrison’s girls got off to a bad 0-3 start this year, but followed Worth County’s lead and won their next three to even their record at 3-3 last Tuesday following their 45-37 win over Nodaway-Holt. They had picked up their second win the night before, winning handily 54-20 over Hale (Bosworth) in a game that was scheduled at the last minute after Tri-County canceled.
The Shamrocks got off to a fast start as Emma Craig scored six in a row and Camden Castleberry hit from the left wing to make it 8-2. But then Nodaway-Holt’s full court pressure started to take its toll, and they started chipping away behind the inside game of Shaina Culp and Chloe Jenkins. They got as close as 14-13 in the second quarter the Shamrocks led 20-18 at the half.
For some reason, Nodaway-Holt came out in a 2-3 zone to start the second half, and North Harrison took full advantage, knocking down shots from deep as they scored the first 16 points of the period. Camden Castleberry hit two shots from beyond the arc and Emma Craig added one, and added a breakaway when Kami Gibson got her a quick outlet. Nodaway-Holt switched back to a man to man, but then Camden Castleberry lobbed one in to Kami Gibson for a score, and then Kami later hit one free throw, missed the second, but Emma Craig was there for the putback to make it 36-18.
But then Emma Craig picked up her third foul, and the momentum swung back to Nodaway-Holt; without one of their main front line players, Nodaway-Holt started making good use of their post game of Shaina Culp and Chloe Jenkins. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Trojans only had two team fouls, which meant they could afford to be very aggressive on defense. Sure enough, the lead dropped down to 38-32 by the 5:18 mark and North Harrison looked to be in trouble after Kami Gibson picked up her fourth foul.
But after Culp missed a shot from point blank that would have made it four, Jayliegh Robins converted a drive into two free throws; following a stop and a long possession, Jayliegh Robins got it into Emma Craig for a three point play and Camden Castleberry added a free throw to make it 44-32.
Nodaway-Holt made another push after a three point prayer went in and they converted on a steal, but they ran out of time as Camden Castleberry hit a free throw at the end.
