Jordan DeLeon went off for North Nodaway, getting 16 in the Mustangs' third win of the season, a 51-32 win over Northeast Nodaway. But Jake Redden went beast mode again against the Mustangs despite battling foul trouble, getting his second double double in a row and getting his second straight night of getting 15 or more boards. Redden had 11 points and 15 boards for the Bluejays.
The Mustangs had been battling illness, as they missed Mason Casner in the team's win over East Harrison and the 57-28 loss to North Andrew. Blaine Clements didn't play in the East Harrison game, but came back for North Andrew. Owen Martin didn't play against North Andrew. And Kaeden Nave and Trevin Wyllie didn't play in the Northeast Nodaway game. But Jordan DeLeon has been a constant in the paint, growing several inches and turning into a new double double threat for the Mustangs. He had 15 points and 13 boards Tuesday.
Owen Martin and Mason Casner both came back for Tuesday's game, and Martin immediately made his presence felt, getting a steal and feeding Ridge Clements for two. Martin scored off a DeLeon steal and then Jordan started to make his presence felt in the paint, getting a three point play to make it 6-0.
But NEN started fighting back; they battled all night long despite horrific foul trouble and despite whoever was on the floor. Reece Gray got a tipin and Chase Allen exploded down the left side to cut it to 6-4 before Jordan DeLeon needed only two dribbles to get from the high post to the rim and then added another inside shot to make it 10-4 after one.
The Bluejays didn't want to let the game get out of hand early like the Gilman City game the night before; they traded blow for blow with the Mustangs for much of the second quarter. But with the score 16-9, Lance Runde and Jake Redden both picked up their third foul and DeLeon went off again for the Mustangs, scoring five straight and Mason Casner added a free throw to make it 22-9 at the half.
It looked like North Nodaway would run away with it like they did the first time the teams met at the PVI; DeLeon continued his dominance in the paint and Owen Martin got consecutive steals, one turning into a three point play. But then Jake Redden got untracked from downtown and Reece Gray added another and the Bluejays were right back in it down 29-15. But then the foul bug hit again and Lance Runde picked up his fourth, and the game threatened to snowball again. Martin got two more steals, converting one into a free throw and another for a layup. Keegan Hansen, playing against his old teammates, got to the rim and finished, but Mason Casner got untracked, scoring four straight. DeLeon scored again off a Martin steal, and then aired one out to Blaine Clements to make it 40-19 before Reece Gray hit two free throws, Jake Redden hit his second triple of the quarter, and Reece Gray scored again to make it 40-26.
It looked like Northeast might make things interesting, but then Owen Martin hit Blaine Clements for a guarded three at the buzzer to swing the momentum back in North Nodaway's favor at 43-26. Redden got into double digits to start the fourth, but Owen Martin scored from inside and Mason Casner unleashed his deadly left hand twice to put his team back up 49-28.
Like the night before, NEN fought to the end as Lance Runde worked a give and go with Kyler Scadden and converted it into a free throw and Chase Allen scored three straight to make it 49-32 before Mason Casner's dagger finished the game.
