Tiger Boys Ranked for First Time Since 1995-96
Worth County's boys were ranked in the state this week for the first time since the 1995-96 season, when their 21-win team was ranked at one point. The Tigers are ranked seventh. The boys beat Jefferson for the first time since that season, 52-50. It was done in the same building they did it in last time, as both wins were in the Albany Tournament. Jefferson was coached at the time by Hall of Fame Coach Don Edwards, while current Coach Tim Jermain was still the skipper for Albany's boys. The Tigers also played a tough game against Stanberry before bowing to the defending state champions, and also dismantled South Nodaway 86-23.

Gerry Runde's Career Night Not Enough for NEN Girls
Northeast Nodaway's girls have struggled to put together a competitive game since losing Taylor Coffelt in the DeKalb game (knee). Tuesday night, Gerry Runde did all she could to put Northeast in the winning column, putting together 22 points, including six from behind the arc against Nodaway-Holt. That was enough to keep the game close for a half, as Northeast trailed by five at 27-22 at the break. But then all hell broke loose in the second half as Nodaway-Holt pulled away for a 68-37 win as Amanda Bohannon scored 27 and Breanna Day scored 19 for them. Makayla Adwell had 13 and Gabby Briney scored 2 for Northeast. The NEN boys showed that their improvement from last year was no accident as they won over Nodaway-Holt, who placed second at Mound City, 64-45. They are now at 4-1 for the year and have exceeded their win total from last year.

Tiger Girls Start 3-1; Win Consolation at Albany
Worth County’s girls recovered from a heartbreaking 48-47 loss to South Harrison by winning their next two games and claiming the consolation trophy at Albany.
Against an archnemesis, Worth County led much of the way against the much taller Bulldog squad. They were up one with 11 seconds left after they had made a defensive stand and South Harrison lost the ball out of bounds. But South Harrison got a steal off their press and converted to come away with the win. Worth County shot 15 for 32 from the line that game.
Worth County would recover against Pattonsburg to win 59-42 to survive elimination.
Against Pattonsburg, the Panthers held it close for the first three minutes of the game. The score was tied at 2 and 4 before Anna Gladstone got a pair of steals to make it 8-4. On her second steal, she somehow avoided a charge as she swerved around her defender just in time to convert.
Brittani Adams’ banked shot made it 9-6, but then Worth County began pulling away. Merrideth Spiers hit a free throw, Anna Gladstone followed with a steal, Payton Adwell connected from the high post off a pass from Spiers, and Sidney Troutwine hit Regan Allee, who got a triple from the right wing to make it 16-6 after one.
The margin stayed there for much of the second quarter. But then Payton Adwell converted a second chance possession to spark Worth County again.
Regan Allee hit Aubrey Ragan on the right side, and she was hammered on her 3-point attempt with 1:21 left. The shot went in and Ragan converted for a four point play. Payton Adwell hit a free throw with 35 seconds left to make it 31-13 at the half.
Pattonsburg has had Worth County’s number in recent years, but the Tigers made sure that there would be no comeback to start the third quarter. Anna Gladstone scored from inside off Allee’s pass, Gladstone aired one out long to Kristin New in transition, and Gladstone went coast to coast to put Worth County up 37-13 with 6:34 left in the third. The margin would not go below 20 points for the remainder of the game.
Against Princeton, the game was much closer than the first time as Worth County needed overtime to win 43-36. Anna Gladstone fouled out in the fourth, and the question was how the team would respond. They did, as they completely outplayed the Blue Tigers in the extra period to secure the win after Princeton had erased a five point deficit.
Anna Gladstone had 12 before fouling out. Kristin New had 11, including 9 free throws. Payton Adwell had 8, Kaylee McElvain 7, and Regan Allee 5.

Tiger Boys Beat Jefferson for First Time in 21 Years,Take Second at Stanberry
Worth County’s boys beat Jefferson for the first time in 21 years, beating them 52-50 in the second round of the Stanberry Tournament. They went on to fall 44-36 to Stanberry in the championship round, but they were able to get a huge monkey off their backs.
The Tigers jumped out on Jefferson early and led by as much as 21-8 in the second quarter. The game started out as a tight defensive struggle in the first quarter, with Jefferson making a concerted effort to lob it into prize center Caden Farnan, and Worth County countering with a pair of free throws and an inside shot from Mason Hawk to lead 7-4. Towards the end of the period, Caleb Parman scored off a backdoor look and drew a foul for a chance at a three-point play. He missed, but Cade Allee was there for the putback to make it 11-4 after one.
Isaac Alarcon got the hot hand for Worth County in the second, knocking down a couple of 3-pointers as Worth County extended its lead to 21-8 at the 5:25 mark. But Jefferson was not going to stay down forever; Michael Burch got red hot and started getting to the line, where he is automatic, and knocking down a 3-pointer. Jefferson changed the tempo of the game and pushed it up the floor a lot more, cutting Worth County’s lead to 27-21 at the break.
Ryan McClellan picked up his fourth foul right off the bat in the third quarter; without his ballhandling, Worth County was in disarray against Jefferson’s pressure defense, especially the pressure of Grant Meyer. Worth County lost the lead and fell behind 30-29 at one point, but a putback from Mason Hawk and an entry pass from Parman to Hawk, along with a Cade Allee putback put Worth County back in front at 35-30. But Burch’s banked 3-pointer tied it back up at 35 to go into the fourth.
The game was tied at 38 and Farnan’s backdoor look put Jefferson up 40-38 after a long possession, but Ryan McClellan hit a 3-pointer after Isaac Alarcon skipped it to him to put Worth County back in front. Ryan then cut inside and converted a 3-point play off an inbounds play to make it 44-40. Burch cut it to 44-42, but Hawk scored inside off a pass from Ryan McClellan, Cade Allee scored off a fast break, and Ryan McClellan’s free throw with 55 seconds left made it 49-42.
Jefferson came roaring back as Farnan scored from inside, Worth County missed a couple of one and one chances, and Burch hit from the top of the key with 16 seconds left to make it 49-47. Caleb Parman hit two free throws with 11.9 seconds left, but then Worth County fouled Burch attempting a 3-pointer and he was automatic, cutting it to one with 7 seconds left. Caleb Parman hit another free throw with five seconds left and Burch rushed up the floor for a chance at a win. But his contested shot was wide left as time expired.
Worth County had their chances against Stanberry as the game was tied at halftime at 22. It was tied twice in the fourth quarter as 34 and 36. But that was the last Worth County would score as Stanberry’s three go-to players, Cole Craig, Corey Luke, and Brad Hailey were too much as they were getting to the rim at will; Stanberry won 44-36.
Worth County opened the tournament by beating Pattonsburg 63-36. They scored the first ten points of the game and never looked back.
