Wade Briggs hit a career high with 27 points, Brett Emig had a normal day at the office with another 27, Nick Babinski had a big night on the boards, and North Harrison survived a chaotic game, winning 80-67 over Gilman City Saturday. The game won them their round robin section of the Gilman City Tournament, which was split into two sections this year. They beat the Hawks for the second time.
Both teams, who coop with each other in football, tried to run each other out of the gym early. The Hawks took an early 10-8 lead, only for North Harrison to get 10 stops in a row as they built a double digit lead that they would not relinquish. Wade Briggs hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Grant Claycomb, Brett Emig went coast to coast, Emig and Claycomb converted on steals on consecutive plays, Emig scored again, and Wade Briggs converted a steal into a 3-point play to make it 22-10.
Gilman City used a putback to break the run, but North Harrison got another five consecutive stops and built their lead up some more. Wade Briggs had a 3-pointer and added a traditional 3-point play off an inbounds pass from Nick Babinski, Cooper Cracraft hit Brandon Hamilton inside for two, and Grant Claycomb hit Briggs in transition to make it 32-12.
But then the sloppy play started. First, the Shamrocks missed the front end of a one and one; then, someone stepped on the inbounds line. That gave Gilman all the push they needed. #33 hit two 3-pointers, and the Shamrocks were throwing the ball all over the gym at one point as the Hawks closed to within 34-25. Tyson Gibson restored order with a 3-pointer and Keygun Johnson added a coast to coast layup after a defensive glass, but Gilman City scored late after some more sloppy play, when North Harrison didn’t realize a loose ball was still live and the Hawks took it down and scored right before half to make it 39-27.
The Hawks cut it to ten at the start of the third, but then North Harrison started getting stops again as Wade Briggs put back a missed shot, and Emig heated up, getting 13 in the third quarter. He scored off an inside shot off a pass from Wade Briggs and went coast to coast and converted a three point play to make it 17 again at 46-29. Gilman City hit a free throw, but then Emig and Claycomb both converted fast breaks to put their squad up 50-30.
Emig pushed the Shamrocks ahead by as much as 54-33 before #1 started hitting 3-pointers and the Hawks got a steal to cut it to 15 at 56-41. But Cooper Cracraft hit Grant Claycomb for a reverse layup and Emig scored on a fast break after Cracraft got him a quick outlet to make it 60-41.
North Harrison led 64-46 after the third quarter, but Gilman City did not make it easy for them in the fourth, slashing to the basket at will and getting some free throws as well. But North Harrison used balanced scoring to keep the lead in double digits as Briggs had 6, and Emig and Claycomb had 4 each.
Brett Emig and Wade Briggs had 27 each. Grant Claycomb had 14, Brandon Hamilton 4, Tyson Gibson 3, Keygun Johnson and Nick Babinski 2, and Kamden Robertson 1.

The Shamrocks, with the win, got their fourth straight win, and sharing the ball more has been key to their improvement. Against Northeast Nodaway in the South Harrison Tournament, they got a mere 6 assists; against Gilman City Saturday, they got 20, over three times that total. Brett Emig had 5, Cooper Cracraft and Grant Claycomb 4 each, Nick Babinski and Wade Briggs 2 each, and Keygun Johnson, Brandon Hamilton, and Tyson Gibson 1 each.
