Northeast Nodaway’s girls had a narrow escape against DeKalb Wednesday in the semifinal round. DeKalb was much better than the squad that lost to the Bluejays by 26 in December, completely outplaying Stanberry to get to the semifinal round. Rachel Reagan’s runner that would have sent the game to overtime was rejected at the end by Dalanie Auffert and the Bluejays came away with the 26-24 win in the semifinals of the King City Tournament.
It turned out that the play should never have happened. Earlier in the game, Jill Boswell made a free throw for the Bluejays that was written down in the scorebooks, but that was never credited to the Bluejays on the scoreboard. Had Reagan’s runner gone in, the game would have gone to overtime despite the scorekeeping error.
By rule, any referee can correct an incorrect score. “It affected how we ran our plays, and it affected how DeKalb coach McKenzie Reagan ran her plays,” said Bluejay coach Sheldon Saxton.
