Northeast Nodaway’s girls won their second straight Tuesday, February 17th as they floored South Holt 51-28 on their senior night and gave their lone senior, Mylee Wilmes, a sendoff. It was a Party in the USA once again as Hayley Yost had a career high with 17 points and Wilmes dished out 10 assists the game after getting the game-winning 3-pointer against OSHS.
The overtime game between Northeast Nodaway and North Harrison turned out to benefit both teams, as both teams won their next two games following that matchup.
The Bluejays started off the game by feeding their two post players, Blair Nelson and Hayley Yost, at will, with Hayley getting the first four and Blair Nelson getting a free throw and following with a steal to make it 7-0. Hayley Yost scored from inside, Blair Nelson scored from inside, then Nelson got a putback to make it 13-0. Finally, someone besides those two got in on the scoring as Mylee Wilmes got a 3-pointer. After Blair Nelson knocked one down from the high post, Bristol Hicks knocked down a 3-pointer to put the Bluejays up 21-2 after one quarter. It was their biggest quarter of the year so far.
The Bluejays continued to pull away in the second quarter as Blair Nelson and Hayley Yost both scored from inside. Brianna Meyer got on the board for the Bluejays; then, Hayley Yost scored from inside and Meyer scored off a drive to make it 31-6 at the half.
But South Holt had won six games up to that point, and they started their comeback bid as Lexi VanHoutan got going for the Knights to start the third quarter to cut it to 33-11. Brianna Meyer picked up her third foul, followed by Hayley Yost after the latter knocked down a pair of free throws to make it 35-11. With them out of the game, the Knights threatened to storm back as Jacelyn Fansher scored twice and then Chloe DeBee scored three free throws to make it 35-18. Northeast was hacking and fouling in the quarter like they were the one playing from behind, not ahead. South Holt would get eight of their 16 points in the period from the line.
Meyer came back in, but VanHoutan would score again as the Knights twice cut it to 15, closing to within 37-22 at the end of three.
With the Bluejays back at full strength in the fourth quarter, they pulled away again as Blair Nelson got loose in transition and then cashed in on a steal to make it 41-22. Rylee Scadden got on the board, going backdoor and getting a pass from Mylee Wilmes to make it 43-22.
South Holt made one last charge as VanHoutan sparked them again with a steal, getting to within 46-28. But Hayley Yost scored the last five points as the Bluejays weathered the storm for the win.
