Northeast Nodaway kept winning Tuesday night, February 13th as Baylie Busby had 21 points and Dalanie Auffert had 20 and the Bluejays won 49-23 over winless South Holt on Senior Night.
Dalanie Auffert scored from inside for the Bluejays, only
for Chloe DeBee to knot it up at 2. But from there, Baylie Busby took over as
she got a steal after Hadley DeFreece got a tip, and then cut inside and got a
pass from Auffert to make it 6-2.
With Northeast swarming, pressing, and trapping throughout
the next stretch, South Holt burned two quick timeouts, to no avail. Dalanie
Auffert put down two free throws after grabbing an offensive board to make it
8-2. Then, South Holt seemingly got loose in transition only for Busby to get
in the set position, ready to take a charge. Frequently, that forces a travel
or a missed shot as the offensive player tries to avoid the foul call; this
time, it forced a miss, Dalanie Auffert was there for the board, handed it off
to Busby, and she was rewarded with the basket at the other end to make it 10-2
after one.
Blair Nelson, who played a lot of valuable minutes for the
Bluejays in the game, jumped a pass and finished to start the second, only for
Abby Sipes to beat the Bluejay pressure and hit a pullup to make it 12-4. But
then both Baylie Busby and Dalanie Auffert got hot at the same time and the
floodgates opened for the Bluejays. Busby knocked one down from the high post,
Auffert got a putback, Busby got a steal and converted, Auffert got an inside
shot after Busby got an offensive board, Jill Boswell got a defensive board and
a quick outlet to Busby who finished at the other end, Hadley DeFreece got the
ball into Auffert, and Busby got an inside shot off a pass from Auffert. By the
time the dust had settled, the Bluejays were up 26-4 at the break.
But South Holt is one of those teams which digs themselves
into a 20-30 point hole at the beginning, only to get better and better as the
game progresses. They made things interesting against St. Joseph Christian, and
they made a big run against Worth County after getting way behind. After a free
throw from Olivia Prussman, all of a sudden, Lexi VanHoutan, who made a bunch
of threes against Worth County in the second half, started doing so again; she
hit one with Baylie Busby draped all over her to cut it to 26-8. Busby and
Auffert kept hitting to build the lead back up to 33-8, only for Abby Sipes,
normally a driver, to hit a guarded three. VanHoutan hit another guarded three,
and then Spies reached back and channeled Caitlyn Clark and hit a logo three at
the buzzer to cut the Knights deficit to 37-17 after three.
But then Dalanie Auffert scored from inside to start the
fourth as the Bluejays restored order. Jill Boswell knocked one down a backdoor
pass from Hadley DeFreece, Dalanie Auffert scored from inside, Jill Boswell
dropped one to Busby in transition, Auffert scored from inside again, and
Boswell hit from the right wing after a pass from Auffert as the Bluejay lead
grew to 49-20 before the bench came in.
