Cole Ruby got the hot hand for the Tigers with 16 points, Tyler New had 17, and Worth County looked like they were in midseason form as they beat Northeast Nodaway 65-25 Tuesday, December 5th. The only tense point was whether Grant McIntyre would win his bet with Bo Collins. He won his bet with Bo, scoring 10 points to Bo’s 9, and outrebounded him for good measure 8-6, meaning the Bluejays will gain a new slugger on their baseball team in spring.
The rest of the game belonged to the Tigers, who were red hot from the field to start the game. Cannon Fletcher hit Tyler New for three to start the game, Caleb New hit back to back jacks, and then Cannon Fletcher hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Karson Briner to make it 12-0 just two minutes into the game. Their first non-three game when Bo Collins finished inside off a pass from Cannon. At that point, Northeast had turned the ball over four times already. Tyler New’s putback made it 16-0.
Jack Boswell finally got Northeast on the board with a pair of free throws, but Bo Collins had a block to set up Tyler New coast to coast, Karson Briner knocked one down from the high post, and then Cole Ruby hit eight straight. Grant McIntyre scored his first points, but Tyler New hit from the high post to make it 30-4 before Jack Boswell’s half court attempt at the buzzer was in and out.
Lance Runde lobbed one into Grant to start the second, but then Ethan Lininger got a tip and Tyler New a steal to restart the Tigers. Lininger’s putback made it 34-6. Brycen Kennard got on the board for the Bluejays, but then a horrific sequence happened for the Bluejays where they could not buy a board and Worth County had eight straight offensive boards before Cannon Fletcher finally hit a corner three to spark another run.
The Tigers were putting on a clinic and did not turn the ball over until late in the first half and four times during the game. Karson Briner got a quick outlet to Tyler New for a coast to coast finish, Hayden Sanders took a charge on defense, and then Cole Ruby got a putback to make it 41-8. Grant McIntyre converted another lob from Lance Runde before Cole hit a guarded three from the top of the key to make it 44-10 at the half.
At that point, Grant had 6 points for the Bluejays and Bo had 2 for the Tigers. The only tense point was whether or not Bo would win his bet with Grant, and all of a sudden, he got the hot hand in the third quarter. After Caleb New hit a 3-pointer for the Tigers to start the third, Bo Collins got loose after Cole Ruby got a tip and Tyler New got a steal. Tyler New converted a steal from Caleb New, and then Bo aired one out to Caleb to make it 53-10.
Jack Boswell took on Karson Briner and hit a tough shot over him and converted a three point play to make it 53-13, but then Bo heated up, knocking one down from the high post and knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing. Tyler New got loose in transition, and Cole Ruby hit a 3-pointer to make it 63-13. Brycen Kennard got a monster stuff to prevent even more damage.
Bo Collins had 9 points to 6 for Grant, and it looked like a comfortable margin with the running clock in effect. Against the Tiger reserves, Brycen Kennard got loose inside twice and Jack Boswell hit a pair of free throws, but time was winding down for Grant to make good on his bet. Jack Boswell lobbed it into Grant for two, and then Reece Gray added a steal. Ethan Lininger scored from inside with 3:37 left, and time was winding down. But finally, Trenton Hartley lobbed it into Grant; Brayden Combs tipped it, but it still got through to Grant, who finished over Ethan Lininger for his 10th point of the night.
