ABOUT LAST NIGHT….NEW LONDON-SPICER V NORWOOD-YOUNG AMERICA

Undefeated #3AA New London-Spicer went on the road and almost put running time on Norwood-Young America in the first game of a girl/boy doubleheader Tuesday in Wright County Action. It was NLS second game in as many days fresh off a 90-37 win over KMS. Both schools are leading their respective sections (NLS in 3AA North, NYA 2AA).

The Wildcats stopped the Raiders with textbook NLS action (a book authored by Mike Dreier, the winningest coach in MN GBB History with over 1100 career wins)—the press & zone defense. By half the vistors led 53-33 despite coughing up the ball 17 times. NLS had an offensive rebound rate of 54.545% vastly ahead of NYA’s 20.513%. NLS starters checked in with a 108.9 pp100, the team as a whole missed the centurion level by 1.1 points.

After four minutes NYA took their first time out trailing 14-9. The Wildcats already had a string of three straight scoring possessions. That timeout interrupted but did not stop an even larger eight possession scoring string which required a second NYA timeout at the 12:28 mark and the hosts trailing 25-9. The largest lead of the night came at the 10:23 mark of the second half 74-43. After that  sub patterns gave some life to NYA who finished the night with a 18-13 advantage.

Team Pt PP100 OR/DR FTM/a 2M/A 3M/A TO/TOTO
New London-Spicer 87 98.9 24/31 17/25 29/59 4/12 27/16.26
Norwood-Young America 61 70.9 8/20 12/21 17/39 5/18 27/15.07

Another day with no 31 Clubbers. NLS was close, but frequent substitutions kept as many as three players off the Club. NYA had a pair close (meaning in the upper 20s). An interesting side note….NYA had three players with double digit d stops. NLS’s best was eight (four times). Two Wildcats delivered 9 distributions. Taylor Nusch was 9/12 on set up passes and Ayla Caskey 9/14. NLS freshman post Korbin Tanner led all scorers with 21 points. Teammate Katelyn Delzer had the best pp100 for starters with 137.5, while a pair of players from the bench topped that with 160.
