Mustang Boys Coming Closer to Elusive Win

North Nodaway’s boys are still searching for that elusive first win, but they came closer in their last two games. On Tuesday, January 25th, the Mustangs led most of the way against Essex before falling in the closing minutes and losing.

Pitted against a solid Braymer team for Courtwarming Friday, they gave the Bobcats all they could handle before losing 63-49. It was an 8-8 tie after one, and the Mustangs only trailed 28-24 at the half. The third quarter turned out to be their undoing; Mason Richardson did all he could for the Mustangs, scoring seven points in the period, but Braymer gained some separation with a 23 point period and led 51-33. North Nodaway had a strong fourth quarter, but could not cut into the Braymer lead.

Mason Richardson had 14, a career high for him. Ethan Fry had 10, Aydan Blackford 9, Damian Dailey and Jeremiah Dobbins 7 each, and Brice Trimble 2.

The girls put up a good fight against the Bobcats, but lost 52-41 Friday.
