North Country downs Nashua
By Mike Brandt
It was like a goal line stand Friday night in
Nashua. But this stand is what North Country
needed to hold of a determined Porcupine squad for
a District 3C 60-48 victory. Dodson also defeated
Nashua 70-32 Saturday night.
The Mavericks came away with a 60-48 win in
boys’ basketball, using a 17-0 run in the first quarter.
Take away the 17-0 run and Nashua maybe could
have won the game.
Jon Rey Taylor led the first quarter run, scoring
eight of the points. The junior scored the first
bucket 20 seconds into the game. He had a chance
to complete an old-time three-point play, but missed
the free throw. Taylor did bury a three-pointer later
in the run for a 12-0 lead, and completed a three-
point play to finish the run. Beau Simonson had five
points in the run.
Mack Winchester scored the first bucket for
Nashua at the two minute mark. Fletcher Clampitt
had an opportunity to put the Porcupines on the
board after North Country had taken a 12-0 lead. But
the senior missed a pair of free throws.
Nashua (1-6, 0-3) really didn’t get started
until the second half, outscoring the Mavericks 32-
27. Junior Dillon Yoss scored the first bucket of
the second half to get Nashua started. Ethan Viste
scored on a putback and hit one of two free throws.
Sandwiched in between with a bucket was Clampitt,
completing a 7-2 run.
North Country (5-1, 1-0) also had a run, a
5-0 scoring run. The Mavericks led by 21 before
Winchester drilled a three-pointer to get Nashua to
within 48-30.
Nashua continued to plug away with Yoss making
a pair of free throws and Ethan Noser draining a
three-ball for a 14-point deficit. Trace Laumeyer also
nail a three and Noser connected for his second trey
later in the period. The Porcupines got the deficit
down to 12 on Laumeyer’s trey and had a chance to
get to within 11 when Winchester went to the line for
bonus free throws. The senior missed the front end of
the free throws.
Loden Idler kept the Mavericks in a double-digit
lead, scoring six points in the fourth quarter. The
junior finished with 18 points, including 9 of 10 free
throws. Simonson followed with 16 points, Taylor
had 10, Jesse Lee, Trey Johnson, and Dustin Ostrom
had four apiece, Cordell Younkin and Brady Albus
had two each.
Nashua was hurt when the Porcupines lost four
players to fouls. Clampitt, Laumeyer, Winchester,
and Sawyer Sibley all fouled out. The Porcupines did
a good job of rebounding with Winchester pulling
down 10 boards.
Sibley, who had just returned from a bad wheel,
and Viste led Nashua with 10 points each. Winchester
chipped in nine points, Yoss and Noser six each,
Clampitt four, and Laumeyer three.
There was no scoring posted in the Billings Gazette
or Great Falls Tribune on the Nashua-Dodson contest.
Kaitlyn McColly, Kia Wasson, and Jaycee
Erickson led North Country girls to an easy victory,
59-18, over a young Nashua squad. The Mavericks
led 39-8 at the half and 57-10 after three quarters.
McColly scored a game-high 14 points with
Wasson and Erickson right behind with 12 points
each. Jayden Erickson had six, Danika Soper and
Kelsie Cummings four each, Mattea McColly two,
and Zandra Longtree one.
Nashua plays one junior, two sophomores, six
freshmen, and an eighth grader, with freshman Tia
Dees netting 12 points. Devin Fromdahl, Kaitlyn
Miller, and Kyleigh Garsjo scored two points apiece.
In other 3-C scores, Poplar whipped Frazer 85-44
in boys’ action. Dusette Gourneau had a game-high
20 points in leading the Indians. Klein Ackerman and
Kayo Jackson had 12 each for Frazer.
Poplar girls also defeated Frazer, 42-29, with
Kaylandra St. Marks netting 15 points for the Bearcubs.
Bainville beat the Lustre Christian boys, 50-044,
and the girls, 34-29. Dodson thumped Turner 70-37.
Turner girls won their game with Dodson, 59-24.
