Worth County did all they could to keep their winning streak and season alive, and it took 62 points from Tony Osborn for Mound City to put away the Tigers and end their season. It started in the early going when Osborn started making NBA 3-pointers despite the best efforts of Levi Cassavaugh, who was draped all over him, in the first quarter. He scored 21 points in the first 4½ minutes of the game and Wil Young added a 3-pointer as the Panthers were ahead of the Tigers 24-10 at the 3:03 mark.
All of a sudden, like the Platte Valley game, Worth County realized they could play basketball with them and started coming back. Jackson Runde got a three point play after going coast to coast to cut it to 24-13, and Grant Cameron took on Osborn and scored to make it 24-15. Osborn scored from inside, but Tyler New scored four straight and cut it to 26-19 by the end of the first.
Aydan Gladstone scored off a drive to make it 26-21 to start the second, and triples from Gladstone and Cameron cut it to 30-27 with 5:39 left in the second. But just like that, Tony Osborn found his second wind, hitting a 3-pointer to break the run. Gavin Summers got loose in transition and dunked, and Osborn got a three point play off a steal to push Mound City’s advantage to 38-27 at the 4:52 mark.
Gladstone brought the Tigers back again with a drive to cut it to 38-29. Osborn hit yet another three from the volleyball line with a hand in his face, but Gladstone stole the ball back after a Mound City steal and scored, then Runde got a tip, Aydan Gladstone a steal, and Runde the finish to make it 41-33.
But just like that, Trevor Tubbs got all alone behind the Tiger defense and Osborn added a steal to restore order for the Panthers and make it 45-33. Worth County chipped away and got it down to ten behind the scoring of Aydan Gladstone and Tyler New, but Tony Osborn threw a bullet pass to Tubbs at the buzzer to make it 52-40 at the break.
It looked like Mound City would finally take control as they came roaring out of the rate and racing out to a 64-43 lead to start the third quarter. But Gladstone started driving to the basket at will, and Osborn finally cooled off as the Tigers came storming back. Tyler New added a three point play and Jackson Runde added a steal as the Tigers got the deficit down to 66-56 at the 23 second mark before Osborn drove down the right side to make it 68-56 after three.
Brendan Tubbs got a steal and Tony Osborn hit two free throws to push Mound City’s lead to 72-58, but Aydan Gladstone hit a free throw and Jackson Runde an NBA three pointer to cut it to 72-62 again. Osborn scored off a drive, but Gladstone slashed to the rim, took a charge on Osborn, and scored again off a drive to make it 74-66. Consecutive steals by Mound City put them back up 12 at 78-66, but Jackson Runde then got the hot hand, scoring off a couple of drives to make it 78-70 with 2:30 left. Osborn scored off a drive, but Runde got a three point play, Osborn made a rare miscue by throwing the ball away, and Jackson Smith got on the board to cut it to 80-75, still plenty of time left.
But Osborn got to the rim again and scored, Gladstone missed a one and one, and Worth County had to start fouling as Gavin Summers hit two free throws. Wil Young got loose in transition and Osborn got a steal and a dunk at the end.
