Three Hit Double Figures as Bluejay Girls Beat Platte Valley 52-19

Three Bluejays hit double figures as the Northeast Nodaway Junior High girls team beat Platte Valley 52-19 Thursday.

Harlyn Skoglund did all she could to keep her team in the game, scoring 13 of her team's 19 points. But the Bluejays pulled away late at the end of the first quarter to a 13-5 lead and built up a 28-12 lead by halftime. They continued to extend it to 45-16 at the end of three and crossed the running clock threshold early in the fourth.

Emma Wilmes, Ellie Jackson, and Bexlie Busby each had 13 points for the Bluejays. Aubrey Wilmes had 7, Kenzley Yost 3, Eryn O'Connell 2, and Jordann Doty 1.

Eryn O'Connell had 1 blocked shot.

Bexlie Busby got her first double-double with 10 boards. Aubrey Wilmes had 7, Ellie Jackson 6, Kenzley Yost 5, Jordann Doty 3, Emma Wilmes 2, and Eryn O'Connell 1.

Aubrey Wilmes had 6 assists. Ellie Jackson had 4, and Emma Wilmes 4.

Bexlie Busby had 5 tips. Emma Wilmes had 3, Aubrey Wilmes 2, Emma Wilmes 2, Kenzley Yost 1, and Jordann Doty 1.

Emma Wilmes had 9 steals. Aubrey Wilmes had 5, Kenzley Yost 3, Bexlie Busby 2, Ellie Jackson 1, and Jordann Doty 1.

The "B" girls also won 12-5. Jennifer Stoll had 4 points. Aurora Claphan had 3, Quin Oelze 2, Jasmine Garnett 2, and Arlee Sobotka 1. With Platte Valley trying to get the ball back, Jasmine Garnett stepped up with 47 seconds left in the second and hit both her free throws to seal the game.

The "A" boys were shorthanded; without their best player and ballhandler in Cooper Jackson (flu), they were no match for Platte Valley, falling 59-2. Noah Cordell scored the lone two points.

The "B" boys won an exciting game 6-4 when a last-second triple by Platte Valley that would have won it went astray. Beckem Kennard and Noah Cordell hit free throws in the last minute to put the Bluejays ahead and break a 4-4 tie.
