North Nodaway’s girls got off to a fast start last Tuesday against North Harrison, but couldn’t put the Shamrocks away until Jacquelyn Cline scored 10 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter and the Mustangs pulled away to a 34-27 win. Angie Parker came off the bench to mix it up with the physical Shamrock squad and was one of three Mustangs with 7 boards despite playing only half the game.
The Mustangs outplayed North Harrison in the early going as they forced 8 Shamrock turnovers in the first period compared to none at one point, but the Shamrocks kept hanging around thanks to 0 for 6 free throw shooting from the Mustangs and two quick fouls from Cline. The referees were whistle happy all evening, sending both Cline and Shamrock leading scorer Jayliegh Robins to the bench with foul trouble at one point. Finally, North Nodaway got a late push from Saryn Brown, who scored four in the last minute to put North Nodaway up 7-2 after one.
Last year, the game had a similar start but North Nodaway used a big second quarter to pull away. Cline hit a 3-pointer and added a pair of free throws to make it 12-3 at the 5:33 mark. But just as it looked like North Nodaway would pull away, the whistle happy refs sent Cline to the bench with her third foul and the Shamrocks continued to hang around. While North Nodaway forced more Shamrock turnovers for the game, North Harrison had a 37-33 rebounding advantage and used the free throw line to hang around, going 14-25 from the line compared to 5 for 16 for the Mustang squad.
Lauren Herndon’s free throws put North Nodaway up as much as 18-7, but then Jaci Davis got a putback at the 1:20 mark and the Shamrocks chipped away at the line, coming to within 18-11 at halftime.
The officials were consistent about the foul calls, and by the third quarter, several players on both sides had three fouls. The Shamrocks used the line and a Halle Morgan putback to hang around, coming as close as five three times. Saryn Brown kept the Mustangs in front, scoring all six of their points in the period despite playing with three fouls.
Trendi Johnson cut it to 24-21 to start the fourth, but then Jacquelyn Cline came alive, scoring off a drive after a pass from Lauren Herndon and adding a three point play to make it 27-21. Jayliegh Robins cut it to 27-23, but then Kelsey Barcus hit Cline for three and Cline went coast to coast to make it 32-23.
At that point, North Nodaway began running out the clock, but North Harrison still had fouls to give and they got a three point play from Robins to cut it to 33-27 with 2:09 left.
