NEN Girls Win Defensive Gem vs. Tarkio
Northeast Nodaway's girls won a defensive gem against Tarkio, pulling away in the second half and winning 35-23 last Tuesday night. Northeast had trouble solving their zone for much of the first half. However, Dallis Coffelt, stymied from going to the rim, started finding the open person on the weak side, which opened everything else. Tarkio came in with a shooter and a driver and used a lot of ball screens to get them open. But after scoring the first five points of the game, Northeast settled down and got back to within one and trailed 6-5 after one. Talina Nelson and Taylor Coffelt had 2 each for Northeast, while Brianna Riley had 1. Dallis Coffelt had 2 assists in the period while Allie Runde had 1.
After Jill Spire got a steal to put Northeast up 7-6, Northeast fell behind 11-7 as they went through a four-minute scoring drought and Coach Vance Proffitt was starting to get a little bit agitated. Northeast had come off consecutive layup-drill losses to North Andrew and South Nodaway and they could not afford another one; they had lost their last three meetings with Tarkio. But all of a sudden, Dallis Coffelt started handling the ball like a point guard, passing it out of double teams to the open person at will as Northeast scored the last eight points in the period to lead 15-11. Vanessa Riley had 4 in the period for Northeast while Jill Spire had 3. Kaysie Wiederholt had 2 and Dallis had 1. Dallis Coffelt and Allie Runde had 2 assists each.
Northeast's passing display late in the second quarter forced Tarkio out of their zone to a man to man in the second half. But Northeast turned things up defensively, getting two blocks from Dallis Coffelt and one from Bailey Judd as they built up a 20-11 lead at one point before settling for a 22-16 lead after three. Dallis Coffelt, Jill Spire, and Vanessa Riley all had 2 while Bailey Judd had 1 for Northeast. Dallis Coffelt and Brianna Riley each had 1 assist.
Northeast finally got the lead into double digits in the fourth quarter as Dallis Dawn finally found room to operate as Tarkio started getting into foul trouble. Jill Spire had 6 points to pace Northeast, while Coffelt followed with 5. Vanessa Riley had 2 for Northeast. Bailey Judd, Brianna Riley, and Talina Nelson all had one assist in the period. Brianna Riley and Jill Spire each had a steal for Northeast.
Jill Spire led the scoring with 11 points for Northeast. Dallis Coffelt and Vanessa Riley each had 8, Talina Nelson, Taylor Coffelt, and Kaysie Wiederholt had 2 each while Brianna Riley and Bailey Judd had 1 each for Northeast. Dallis Coffelt had 5 assists and Allie Runde 3 for Northeast. Dallis had 4 blocks and Bailey Judd 1. Coach Proffitt, who was a little bit agitated during the first half, was smiling after coming out of the locker room and said he was especially proud of the play of Vanessa Riley. "She's come a long ways," he said. "Defensively, we kicked it in gear; our goal is not to give up any easy points to anyone."

Kaitlyn Davidson collects 25 Points, 18 Boards vs. Rockets
Kaitlyn Davidson turned in what may have been a record performance Thursday night as she collected 25 points and 18 boards in Worth County's 50-21 win over winless West Nodaway. Her 25 points in a game were the most since 2006, when Megan Walker scored 30 points against Maysville. The last time anyone collected 17 boards in a game was Haley Green in 2008 against North Nodaway. Samantha Fletchall also collected 17 boards in a game back in 1994. It was Worth County's third straight win over the Rockets, who have been down for the last few years.
Kaitlyn's output mostly came from scoring off other peoples' misses. Worth County was able to establish its press early and put the game away in the first quarter. Kaitlyn had 13 in the opening period, almost all of them off putbacks as she was cleaning up the glass. Sydney Thummel added four, one off a steal off the press and another after jumping a pass and getting a layup. Payton Adwell had 3 in the quarter and Rikky Hunt 2. Kaitlyn, Payton Adwell, Ally Buffington, and Sidney Troutwine all had an assist in the period. Alysa Lyle was shaken up in the previous game (hip) and was held out much of Thursday's game as a precautionary measure although she got some minutes in. Worth County led 22-6 after one quarter.
Kaitlyn continued to work the offensive glass in the second quarter, getting nine more points as Worth County continued to pull away. Sydney Thummel followed with 3 points. Coach Josh Smith began to substitute in the second quarter and Aubrey Staton came off the bench to score her first career points, a shot from the high post off a pass from Thummel to put Worth County up 36-8 at the break.
There was a scare in the third quarter as Kaitlyn crashed into the West Nodaway bleachers, which are really close to the floor, going after a loose ball. She was shaken up, but she returned later in the quarter to collect three points. Aubrey Ragan came off the bench to score her first career points, a 3-pointer from the right wing off a pass from Sidney Troutwine. Sydney Thummel scored off a steal and Payton Adwell also collected two points as Worth County led 46-18 after three. Rikky Hunt and Sidney Troutwine each had one assist.
Kaitlyn Davidson had two assists in the fourth quarter as Aubrey Ragan's shot from the left wing triggered the running clock and Payton Adwell also scored in the period for the Tigers.
Kaitlyn led the Tigers with 25 points. Sydney Thummel followed with 9, Payton Adwell had 7, Aubrey Ragan had 5, and Rikky Hunt and Aubrey Staton had 2 each.
The boys led by as much as 13 against West Nodaway, but they lost their composure and the game in the fourth quarter as they fell 56-55. West Nodaway pressed them through most of the game with a zone press. However, when they switched to a man to man press, the Tigers didn't know how to break it and panicked, letting the Rockets right back into the game. In all three of their losses, the boys have let the other team's best scorer run wild on them. Thursday was no exception, as they let Trevor Meyer score 22 points against them. In their losses to Princeton, they let Brant Faulkner run wild against them, including a 27-point outburst in the first game.
Chris Alarcon had 22 points to pace the Tigers, a career high. Josh Warner had 10, Cade Allee 8, Drake Kinsella 6, Mason Hawk 5, Truman Moore 3, and Ryan McClellan 1.

Austin Jones & Max Giesken Collect 7 Steals; NEN Boys Win 2nd
Austin Jones and Max Giesken collected 7 steals each and Northeast Nodaway's boys got their second win of the year, beating Tarkio 47-30 last Tuesday night. The boys used a balanced attack with three in double figures and seven in the scoring column to get the win. Austin was playing stingy on the ball defense for the Bluejays while Max Giesken was getting in the passing lanes and jumping them.
Northeast took control of the game in the first quarter as they held Tarkio scoreless while putting up seven. Max Giesken cut inside and got a pass from Garet Jackson for a layup; Garet added a 3-pointer off a pass from Andrew Faustlin and scored a layup off a Dylan Mildfeldt steal for Northeast's output in the period.
Tarkio's defense was causing Northeast problems in the second quarter as they were constantly switching defenses every time down the court through much of the frame. They finally got on the board; however, Northeast was able to manufacture points on defense and expand their lead. Max Giesken collected four of his seven steals in the period while Austin Jones scored a layup off another steal in the period as Northeast led 20-6 at halftime.
Garet Jackson threw a long outlet pass the length of the court to Max for a layup to give Northeast its biggest lead so far at 31-14, but then Tarkio began finding its rhythm, riding the back of Seth Fletcher to close to 31-20 early in the fourth. But then Dylan Mildfeldt got the hot hand for Northeast, getting eight in the fourth and Garet Jackson added a 3-pointer as Northeast's lead never got below double digits despite Fletcher's best efforts to get to the rim. They could not afford to foul too much as they had only seven players listed in the program and only six dressed out for Tuesday's game. Northeast scored the final seven points of the game in the last minute to take the victory.
Garet Jackson led Northeast with 13 points despite getting plenty of attention from the Tarkio defense. Max Giesken had 12, Dylan Mildfeldt had 11, Austin Jones had 5, and Andrew Faustlin, Rowdy West, and Andrew Freemyer had 2 each.

Tiger Boys Even Record Behind Truman Moore
Worth County's boys evened out their record at 2-2 behind Truman Moore, who had 13 out of his 15 points in the second half. The Tigers beat North Nodaway 49-35 last Tuesday.
The Mustangs came in living and dying by the 3-pointer and came out firing all night. They pressed Worth County with a 2-2-1 press that created a few problems for the Tigers; however, they were able to break it and get into their offense. Worth County countered with their post game as Josh Warner scored the first eight points for the Tigers. Worth County was 17 for 27 from the free throw line, which Coach Bryce Schafer said was even more impressive since their big men were usually the ones at the line.
The game was even after one period at 12-12 as neither side led by more than one possession. However, Worth County began to take control in the second behind the play of Ryan McClellan, whose strong defense helped limit the Mustangs to three points in the second half. He had a highlight film play on the other end even though he didn't score as he drove in, threw up a prayer, and missed. However, he stuck with the play and saved his own miss to Drake Kinsella for a layup. With time running out, Cade Allee scored his only points of the game, a 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer to put Worth County up 21-15; that play swung the momentum in their favor.
Ryan McClellan earned the starting nod for the third quarter; he and Chris Alarcon provided a steady hand for the Tigers in breaking the Mustang press. Chris Alarcon scored off a drive to the basket off a pass from Cade Allee and then Drake Kinsella of all people hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Ryan to put Worth County up double digits at 26-15. Topher scored six of his eight points in the period as he was able to get a lot of open lanes to the basket in the period. Ryan McClellan got the ball to Truman Moore midway through the third and he started powering up against the Mustang defenders, taking on two and three at a time and getting on the line, hitting five of six from the line in the quarter and scoring 7 overall. He even got a steal and nearly made a 45-footer at the third quarter buzzer that was straight on target but hit the front of the rim as time expired with the Tigers leading 37-20.
North Nodaway made an adjustment in the fourth quarter and went away from their 3-point game and started getting it into #40, who started powering up and getting the ball in the hole for the Mustang. North Nodaway came as close as 39-26 in the fourth as he scored the first six points of the period for his team. Ryan McClellan sent one North Nodaway shot into the stage for the Tigers during that stretch. But Truman Moore put Worth County back in control, getting to the line at will as the Tigers made a concerted effort to get him the ball down the stretch. He scored the next six points for Worth County as the lead grew back to 45-28 late in the game.
The girls led North Nodaway for much of the way, but they could not keep the Mustang post player, Thompson, off the boards and lost 40-35. Kaitlyn Davidson had 14 points to pace the Tigers. Payton Adwell and Alysa Lyle had 8 each, while Sydney Thummel had 3 and Ally Buffington had 2.

Max Giesken Hangs 22 on Union Star
Max Giesken hung 22 points on Union Star as Northeast Nodaway's boys picked up their first win, 68-36 over the Trojans. Garet Jackson was right behind with 21 as Northeast was able to recover their focus after three losses to open the season that were tough to swallow. After losing in overtime to Albany to open their season, they had a bad first quarter against Jefferson and lost 59-29 in the opening round of the Platte Valley Conference Tournament. They then lost 52-30 to South Nodaway as they had not recovered from the previous night's loss according to Coach Chaim Jenkins. But Jenkins said that the team had regained their focus after a two-night layoff and proceeded to put Union Star away early to claim 7th place.
Union Star figures to be one of those teams who will be hard to predict on any given night. They only lost by 14 to North Andrew to open the tournament; however, they only have seven players on their roster, meaning that it is difficult for the coach to use the bench. The Trojans were obviously not ready to play as nobody matched up on Garet Jackson, who knocked down a 3-pointer right off the bat 10 seconds into the game. Northeast proceeded to score the first 20 points of the game as Garet Jackson scored 11, Max Giesken had 7, and Dylan Mildfeldt had 2 for the Bluejays before Union Star finally got going by scoring the last five points of the period to trail 20-5.
Powered by slashers Lane Potter and Brendon McCoy, the Trojans finally got going offensively in the second quarter, but Northeast continued to pull away to a 41-18 lead at the half. Garet Jackson had 8 more points for Northeast while Max Giesken had 7. Max showed what he is capable of when healthy as he was able to get to the rim at will. Dylan Mildfeldt had 3, Austin Jones had 2, and Andrew Freemyer had 1 as five players reached the scoring column for Northeast in the second.
Union Star made things interesting to start the third as they scored the first eight points of the third to cut it to 41-26. Northeast got away from what was working, allowing Potter and McCoy to go to their right; the object of playing man to man defense is to make the dribbler use their non-dominant hand. Star had a chance to cut it further, but then Max Giesken got a steal and a not-to-be-denied layup to break the run and draw Brock McMichaels' fourth foul. Austin Ceglenski picked up his fourth for Union Star, which hurt them given that they were down to seven players; that broke their momentum and took away their aggression. Northeast pulled away to a 49-30 lead after that. Andrew Freemyer had 4 in the period to lead Northeast while Giesken and Garet Jackson had 2 each.
Northeast pulled away from the demoralized Trojan squad in the fourth. Max Giesken had 6 in the quarter for the Bluejays. Andrew Freemyer picked up two more for Northeast to give him 7 for the night. Brayden Welch scored his first two career points as a Bluejay, Austin Jones and Rowdy West also had 2, and Dylan Mildfeldt had 5 for Northeast.

Teens Tape Off Sheridan Streets
Sometime Friday evening after 11 pm, teens got hold of some police tape and put police tape all over Sheridan. They tied police tape to the Platte River Bridge and put a bike in the middle of the road. They also put tape along the 246 and Route H intersection leading into the Snakebite Tavern. The tape was all removed by Saturday morning.
