North Nodaway’s girls overcame 28 turnovers against DeKalb as Lauren Herndon had 19, Saryn Brown 15, and the Mustangs were able to get scoring from six different players as they held off the Tigers 42-31 Monday in the opening round of the PVI. DeKalb has a new coach, but they play the same brand of basketball, as they mix up their man to man with their half court trap, swarming the ball at every opportunity and forcing turnovers.
The Mustangs had trouble getting anything going against
DeKalb’s trap for the first two minutes, but then Lauren Herndon stole an
outlet pass and scored and then Angie Parker kept a possession alive and got it
to Saryn Brown, who drove and hit two free throws. Rachel Reagan countered with
a triple, but then Saryn Brown scored off a Lauren Herndon steal and Lacy Riley
hit from the left wing after Saryn Brown kicked it out to make it 8-3. Camry
Hanshaw countered with a putback for DeKalb to make it 8-5.
A defensive lapse allowed Allison Bramble to score; that
sparked a 5-0 Tiger run to cut their deficit to 10-9, but Lauren Herndon got a
putback and later converted a three point play after Saryn Brown got her the
ball inbounds as the Mustangs rebuilt their lead. The teams traded blows, with
Harlie Hall’s triple cutting DeKalb’s deficit to three late, but Saryn Brown
hit a shot from the top of the key after Addalea Barcus got her the ball to
make it 20-14 at the half.
DeKalb came out in their trap to start the second half and
Rachel Reagan’s steal cut it to 20-18, but then North Nodaway finally started
breaking it and Lacy Riley got it to Lauren Herndon, who drove and scored.
Saryn Brown added a free throw and Lauren Herndon added a triple after a pass
from Saryn Brown to build it back to 26-18.
The lead hovered between six and nine until the early part
of the fourth quarter, but a collision between Angie Parker and one of the
DeKalb players during a rebound scramble knocked her out of the game with a bloody
nose at the five minute mark of the fourth quarter with North Nodaway leading
34-28, but the play seemed to spark the Mustangs as Parker’s replacement,
Jackie Wray, got a third chance putback and Saryn Brown added two free throws
to get the Mustang lead to double digits at 38-28. CeCi Sherlock’s free throw
cut it to 38-29, but Lauren Herndon got a steal and Saryn Brown added a pair of
free throws to get the Mustangs up double digits for good.
