Ellaina Renfro sparked the Mustang girls on the defensive end and Saylor Brown sparked them on the offensive end in the second quarter as North Nodaway broke up a tight defensive struggle with a 20-7 second quarter as they pulled away for a 47-25 win over North Harrison. Jacquelyn Cline got going late in the half and then scored 11 second half points to keep the Shamrocks from mounting a second half comeback bid.
The Mustangs completely outplayed the Shamrocks on the floor in the first quarter, but they were ice cold from the floor. Halle Morgan was keeping North Harrison in the game with her strong defensive play on Jacquelyn Cline, holding her to six points in the first half. Missed free throws did not help the blue shirts in that period as they were 2 for 6. The only points they managed were a drive from Cline, free throws from Saryn Brown, and a midrange jumper from Kelsi Barcus. But they were strong on the defensive end as they forced a lot of turnovers and only allowed Jaci Davis’ triple.
But Ellaina Renfro set the tone for the second quarter when she took a charge on Erin Virtue to start the period, and then all of a sudden, the lid came off the rim. Saylor Brown capitalized off a Saryn Brown steal with a free throw and another when an errant pass pinballed off Saryn Brown into her hands for a layup. Camden Castleberry countered with a drive and a free throw to cut it to 9-4, but Lauren Herndon got untracked, hitting two free throws and adding a three pointer off a pass from Saylor to make it 14-4.
North Harrison tried to rally as Halle Morgan got an offensive board and made one of two, and Camden Castleberry scored off a drive. Saylor Brown hit an NBA three off a kickout from Ellaina Renfro, but Castleberry answered with a triple of her own to keep it at 17-10. But then the bottom dropped out in the last two minutes as Saylor Brown hit Saryn on a cut and she hit one of two, Cline got loose in the open court and hit Saylor for a layup, and then Cline got a tip and Brown a steal that led to two free throws to make it 22-10. When the dust had settled, Saylor Brown had erupted for 10 points in the quarter and North Nodaway was in control at that point.
Jacquelyn Cline, who had only two points up to that point, suddenly got untracked when an errant Shamrock shot caromed near the midcourt line along the sideline and she knocked it ahead. Somehow, the ball stayed inbounds and she was able to scoop it up and score. After another Mustang stop, she held it for the last shot and got to the rim and finished to make it 26-10.
Jayliegh Robins tried to get North Harrison back in the game in the second half by working the baseline and getting to the rim, but Cline hit a three pointer and scored off a Saryn Brown skip and Lauren Herndon hit her second triple as the Mustangs pulled away to a 34-15 lead. Cline scored two more triples in the fourth quarter, the second off Angeline Parker’s skip pass from the post to the top of the key. Parker showed that she is one of the most improved players from last year as she was much more confident with the ball, rebounded well, and knew where she was supposed to be on the floor. She added a shot from the high post and one of the Shamrock players made the mistake of knocking down Hayleigh Vinzant attempting a three; she hit all of her attempts.
