Brock Healy Scores 24, Jordan Dannar 20; Owyn Wuillay Does Dirty Work in W

Brock Healy scored 24 points for Worth County Monday and Jordan Dannar added 20 for the Tigers in a lopsided 80-4 win over North Harrison Monday. Everyone knew who would be the scoring weapons for the Tigers coming into the season, as they got most of their starters back. But it was their depth which has shown the biggest improvement. Owyn Wuillay led the second group of Tigers on the floor, and there was no dropoff from the first group as Owyn had 8 boards and 6 assists, both team highs. He also added four steals as he did the dirty work on the floor to keep the Tigers going.

Like the girls game, the boys game was over early as North Harrison didn’t have an answer for Worth County’s swarming, pressing defense. Brock Healy had 13 points to fuel the Tigers’ run while Jordan Dannar had 7 and Hudson Cameron (Grant Cameron’s brother and Kayna (Wake) Cameron’s son) had 6 in the period. Tucker Fletchall had the other two points. The only points from the Shamrocks came from a transition basket from Jacoby Ballard as Worth County led 28-2 after one.

The scoring was a lot more balanced for Worth County in the second as six Tigers reached the scoring column. Jordan Dannar was a constant with 7 points. Brock Healy had 5, Cole Hardy got on the board with 4, Tucker Fletchall knocked down a 3-pointer after he grabbed an offensive board and dribbled to an open area where he knocked it down, and Jarrett Gilland and Mason Hiatt got on the board with two each. 

The lone tally for North Harrison in the second came from Meric (Jaxcynn’s brother) Hansel, who made a nice inside move after Scotty Briggs grabbed an offensive board. Brock Healy split two green shirts and got on the line to convert a three point play to put Worth County up 51-4 at the half.

Even though Worth County took off the press after the first quarter, they were still pressuring the ball and keeping the ball out of the paint and forcing turnovers. Seven Tigers scored in the third, led by Jordan Dannar and Brock Healy with 6 each, Hudson Cameron, Cole Hardy, and Jarrett Gilland each with 3, and Tucker Fletchall and Owyn Wuillay with 2. Weston Hill, who anchored the high post a lot and kept the ball moving all night, finally got on the board in the fourth quarter, as did Max Hiatt. 

The “B” game was more competitive as the Shamrocks were able to break the Tiger press and get into their offense. But the Tigers were still able to get the win behind the play of Jace Mullock, who had five points for the Tigers, including a 3-pointer, in the 7-4 win. Tucker Fletchall had the other two points for the Tigers. Keaton Hill and Meric Hansel had two each for the Shamrocks.
