Dylan McIntyre returned from an ankle injury Wednesday to hang 26 on the Nodaway-Holt Trojans and Ben Boswell added 21 as the Northeast Nodaway Bluejays took a 20 point halftime lead and then thwarted Nodaway-Holt's efforts to get back in the game as they won 74-55.
The Bluejays were a completely different team with McIntyre on the court. Against South Holt, they had to grind out a hard fought 48-38 win over the Knights. But against Nodaway-Holt, Dylan was able to get behind the defense time and time again for easy transition baskets.
The fireworks started early; with the game tied 2-2, Zach Pride hit Dylan McIntyre backdoor and then Pride got a defensive board, walked the tightrope on the baseline, and then aired one out to McIntyre to make it 6-2. Brilyn DeVers cut it to 6-4, but Lane Dack hit Auston Pride inside, then Dack hit Ben Boswell for a three point play in transition, and then Colton Swalley hit Lane Dack in transition yet again to make it 13-4.
After the teams traded three pointers, Lane Dack hit Dylan McIntyre for a reverse layup, then Colton Swalley got a quick outlet to Zach Pride, who fed Ben Boswell for the finish; then, Auston Pride got a steal and aired it out to Boswell to make it 22-9. Nodaway-Holt countered as Wyatt Wakely hit from inside and Blake Bohannon scored off a drive, but Ben Boswell cleaned up on a miss in transition to put Northeast Nodaway up 24-13 after one.
The lead continued to grow in the second as Colton Swalley hit Dylan McIntyre on a give and go, Dylan hit a free throw, Lane Dack, Zach Pride, and Dylan McIntyre all got loose in transition, and Ben Boswell scored off a steal to make it 35-15. The Bluejays led 42-22 at the half.
The Trojans switched to a half court trap at the start of the second half; they were able to keep the Bluejay lead from getting any bigger, but they could not make a big dent in the lead. Brilyn DeVers, Blake Bohannon, and Gavin Leeper were all slashing to the basket at will, but Northeast was able to score enough in the second half to keep pace. McIntyre had 7 points to lead six Bluejay scorers as they maintained a 60-41 lead after three.
DeVers continued to slash to the basket at will and the Trojans got as close as 66-50, but then Auston Pride got a steal and aired it out to Ben Boswell, Dylan McIntyre jumped a pass and converted, Ben Boswell got a steal and fed Dylan McIntyre for a finish, and Colton Swalley hit Lane Dack for a layup to make it 74-50.
