Northeast Nodaway’s boys continued their revenge tour, beating Stewartsville/Osborn 57-43 Friday at their Homecoming game. With the win, they won four out of their last five. Out of those four wins, three of them were against teams that had beaten them before.
In the first game against Stewartsville/Osborn, Braxton Gibson ate the Bluejays alive, picking them apart at will. This time, Drew Dack faceguarded him all over the floor; while he still got his points, Northeast was able to hang around for the game until they finally pulled ahead and won in the fourth quarter.
The game started off well for Northeast as Drew Dack got a steal and Dylan McIntyre got a three point play to make it 5-0. The lead held up for the remainder of the first quarter; Drew Dack beat the Wildcard press with a pass to Dylan McIntyre who finished and got a three point play to make it 16-10 with 1:54 left.
But the Wildcards hung around as Quintin Reid hit a 3-pointer and Gibson got a steal to cut it to 16-15 after one. They moved into the lead to start the second when Eli Martens got a steal and Gibson followed it up with a coast to coast look to make it 19-16. Drew Dack fought back with a drive to tie it at 21, but it looked like the Wildcards would take control of the game when Reid got loose in transition, Eli Martens got a putback, and Gibson went coast to coast to make it 27-21 before Trent Hartley cut the Bluejay deficit to 27-24 with a 3-pointer.
At that point, the game looked like so many of Northeast’s other games this year, in which they would hang tough for a quarter or a half, only to implode in the second half. Sure enough, the Wildcards’ big guns, Tristan Auxier and Braxton Gibson, started going to the rim at will in the third quarter and the Wildcard lead grew to 39-32 by the two minute mark of the third quarter.
But then Dylan McIntyre got consecutive putbacks to cut the deficit to 39-36 after three and then added an inside shot to start the fourth to make it 39-38. Martens put Stewartsville/Osborn back up 41-38, but then Boston Adwell hit his only shot of the game to tie it at 41 and Jack Boswell went coast to coast after a block from Dylan McIntyre to make it 43-41. Dylan added yet another putback to make it 45-41.
Braxton Gibson went coast to coast to cut it to 54-43, but then Drew Dack knocked down a shot from the high post and Dylan fed the ball to a wide open Jake Redden to make it 49-43. The Wildcards were forced to start fouling, and Northeast went six for six from the line to close it out.
