Drew Dack had 26 points against King City Monday, but unlike the girls game, it wasn't enough for the Bluejays to pull off the double header sweep as the Bluejays fell 43-30. Dack scored the first four points for the Bluejays, but then Northeast turned the ball over on consecutive steals that King City converted to scores to give them hope again. After that, Northeast led for the rest of the first half, but the game was a dogfight as King City kept hanging around.
Like the girls game, Dack was scoring at will and getting King City players into foul trouble; unlike the girls game, King City was hanging around thanks to the play of Josiah Schellhorn, who was cleaning up on the boards for the purple shirts. Dack's pullup with 2:40 left put Northeast in front 13-6, but then Schellhorn collected two late boards down the first half stretch to bring his team back to within 15-13 at the half.
Dack set the tone for the second half, going coast to coast after an outlet from Chase Allen and converted the three point play to make it 18-13. Schellhorn and the Wildkats fought back to cut it to 18-17, but then Dack converted a three point play and Reece Gray added a steal to make it 23-17 with 2:36 left in the third quarter. Things looked grim for King City as the foul trouble was mounting; Cooper Mooney and Graham Medsker both got into foul trouble trying to guard Dack, with Mooney picking up his third and Medsker picking up his fourth.
But all of a sudden, all hell broke loose as Northeast suddenly couldn't buy a board defensively and couldn't buy a bucket offensively; as the turnovers for Northeast and the offensive boards for King City mounted, the Wildkats began to come back. Schellhorn got a putback; a defensive lapse left Ryder Sample all alone for a three point play, and the purple shirts buried a triple at the buzzer to lead for the first time at 25-23.
The carnage continued in the fourth; in that period, everything broke down as King City was beating Northeast up and down the court, getting two uncontested baskets, and grabbing offensive boards at will, getting 15 for the night.
