Northeast Nodaway’s boys got ten in the scoring column as they pulled away for a 68-30 win over North Nodaway for their Homecoming. Ben Boswell had 8 assists for the first half, and they had it under control after they weathered a Mustang run late in the first quarter.
The Bluejays were coming off an 83-48 loss against Mound City. They started off playing their best quarter of the year, but wore down as the toll of playing back to back nights and having to face one of the top teams in the state on the second night was too much. For North Nodaway, they were shorthanded and still searching for their first win of the year; they made a few good runs at Northeast, but could not keep up with the Bluejays, who were pushing it up the floor at will.
The first five minutes belonged to the Bluejays as Auston Pride hit from the right wing, Pride hit Dylan McIntyre inside, Ben Boswell hit Zach Pride in transition after Dylan McIntyre got a steal, Colton Swalley got a steal, Dylan cleaned up on a miss in transition and added a steal, and Lane Dack got behind the defense. That made it 14-0.
The Mustangs, who got Aydan Blackford back for the Stanberry Tournament after he had broken his collarbone during football, got five points from him as they fought back to within 18-8 after one.
But then Dylan McIntyre cut inside for a layup and Ben Boswell hit Colton Swalley in transition. Boswell, who had been held scoreless in the first quarter by Owen Martin, got untracked in the second, scoring in transition and adding two free throws. Ben then hit Dylan McIntyre inside, threw an alley oop to Dylan for two, hit a 3-pointer off a Colton Swalley kickout, and then McIntyre added a steal to cap a 17-0 Bluejay run to make it 35-8. North Nodaway could only manage a pair of drives from Aydan Blackford and Mason Richardson as the Bluejays continued to pull away for the rest of the half and lead 46-12 after Ben Boswell’s triple in the closing seconds.
The Bluejays led by as much as 54-15 in the third before Mason Richardson hit two free throws, Brice Trimble hit a 3-pointer, and Aydan Blackford added a free throw to cut it to 54-21. Dylan McIntyre’s 3-point play and Zach Pride’s cut to the basket made it 59-21 after three.
North Nodaway nearly killed the running clock in the fourth as Trimble hit a three, Mason Richardson scored off a drive, and Aydan Blackford got a putback to get it down to 59-28, but then the Bluejay reserves found their footing as Jack Boswell emerged as a potential rebounding machine, getting 5 in the fourth quarter, Landon Wilmes cut inside for two, Jake Redden got a pair of putbacks, and Brycen Kennard hit a 3-pointer.
