North Harrison's boys got their third win of the year with a 61-43 win over Pattonsburg Friday, getting their second straight after facing a brutal start to the season. After an impressive win over North Nodaway to start the season, they played five tough teams in a row in Maysville, Trenton, Winston, St. Joseph Christian, and undefeated Princeton before finally snapping their losing streak the night before with a 61-27 win over Lamoni. Four Shamrocks reached double figures in the win. For Pattonsburg, Gavin Humphrey had 20 points and Drake Sperry went beast mode with 15 rebounds, but it was not enough for them to get their second win. They also got 11 points from Sperry and 8 from Collin Mason, but the focus will be to make all five people on the floor a threat to score.
Jensen Davis got the Shamrocks off to a fast start with two triples and a deep two, but the game was anything but easy as the two schools play football together and naturally wanted to beat each other. Evan Schreiber had the hot hand later in the quarter for North Harrison and Gage Fortner added a 3-pointer, but Gavin Humphrey got four in the quarter and Collin Mason had four as well as the Panthers kept their deficit at seven at 15-8 after one.
Drake Sperry came alive for Pattonsburg, keeping them in the game with his rebounding for much of the night and Reagan Coin came off the bench and got a couple of steals for them. Wyatt Maize got in foul trouble and Sperry's putback cut the Panther deficit to 20-13. But Maize came back in despite his three fouls and knocked down a backdoor look. Gavin Humphrey hit back to back jacks to cut the Panther deficit to as close as 23-19 with 1:48 left, but then Gage Fortner drove and scored and Wyatt Maize hit two free throws to keep the Shamrocks out of danger. Gage Fortner scored off a drive to make it 27-21 with 50 seconds left, but Andrew Craig scored from inside and Wyatt Maize shot over a screen for three to put the Shamrocks up double digits at 32-21 at the half.
Collin Mason got a putback to cut the Panther deficit to 32-23 to start the third, but then Dustin Hamilton drove the right baseline to set up Gage Fortner for three and Wyatt Maize got a fast break basket off a pass from Jensen Davis and ran over a kid passing behind the basket in the process; the kid brushed it off like it was no big deal after one of the Panther players helped him up. Drake Sperry drove and converted a three point play after a pass from Duke Hoover, but Fortner hit another three, Dustin Hamilton aired one out to Jensen Davis, and Evan Schreiber scored off a steal to make it 45-26.
But the Shamrocks have been streaky on the floor this year; they have made big runs only to turn around and give up big runs, only to turn around and right the ship. The Panthers finally found a fourth player to get into the scoring column as Brandon Heath, a promising freshman, scored off a pair of drives to spark the Panthers. Gavin Humphrey hit a free throw to cut it to 45-31 after three and then Drake Sperry scored off a Brandon Heath steal and Gavin Humphrey hit a guarded three to make it 47-37 with 5:37 left.
Just as it looked like the Panthers would make it interesting down the stretch, North Harrison righted the ship when Evan Schreiber drove and hit a pullup to stop the bleeding. He added a free throw to convert a three point play. Three straight Panther turnovers followed and Gage Fortner and Wyatt Maize converted on the other end. Wyatt Maize hit Jensen Davis for three and Jensen Davis hit Wyatt Maize in transition to put the game out of reach at 59-37 at the 3:29 mark.
