Northeast Nodaway’s boys won their second tournament of the year, the South Harrison Tournament, after not having won a tournament since at least 2008. They also won the Northwest Missouri Tournament in December. On Monday, in a game moved from Saturday due to inclement weather, the Bluejays turned back a tough Maysville squad 52-42, handing the Wolverines only their second loss of the year. The Wolverines are having their best season since at least 2009, when they were 13-8.
The Wolverines jumped out to a 4-0 lead to start the game, but then, Northeast realized they could play ball with them and started fighting back. Zach Pride got a block, which lead to a basket from Ben Boswell in transition, and then Dylan McIntyre got four quick points to put Northeast in front as Colton Swalley got two quick assists.
Auston Pride got his second foul and Maysville fought back to take an 11-9 lead early in the second quarter, but then Pride came back in and Northeast started putting on a clinic. Dylan McIntyre found Zach Pride backdoor, Ben Boswell inbounded one to Auston Pride, who handed it back off to him for a layup, Colton Swalley hit Auston Pride backdoor, Dylan McIntyre got a putback and scored inside off a pass from Auston Pride, and Dylan McIntyre hit Ben Boswell in transition to make it 21-11. Zach Heintz got loose in transition for Maysville, but Dylan McIntyre hit Ben Boswell backdoor with 5 seconds left in the half to make it 23-13.
The momentum continued into the second half for a while as Dylan McIntyre got a putback, Ben Boswell scored off a Zach Pride steal, Zach Pride hit Auston Pride after Ben Boswell got a steal, and Northeast was up 28-13 at the 5:26 mark.
But then Auston Pride and Dylan McIntyre picked up their third fouls, and the momentum swung back in Maysville’s favor. Their press started paying off, they started stealing the ball at will, and they started coming back. Four points from Logan Kimbrell, three from Alexavier Clark, and two other red shirts chipping in fueled a big run that brought them back to within 29-24 before Lane Dack’s free throw put the Bluejays up 30-24 after three.
Auston Pride and Dylan McIntyre came back to start the fourth, but the Wolverines kept coming, and the only way for Northeast to win was to keep scoring, which they did. Maysville had a chance to cut it to three or four, but then Colton Swalley got a steal and fed Ben Boswell to make it 36-28 with 5:08 left. Kayden Gabbard’s steal cut it to 38-32, but then Northeast started finding open driving lanes, and both Ben Boswell and Colton Swalley were getting into the middle and dumping it off to Dylan McIntyre, who had 10 in the fourth quarter. Finally, Maysville had to start fouling, and Northeast was 6 for 6 from the line in the last 1:06 to seal the win.
