In one fell swoop, the Jefferson County North Chargers girls’ varsity basketball team achieved two goals Friday with a 52-37 win over Valley Falls – a Delaware Valley League title and an undefeated regular season.
One, the league title, was a goal of the team all season long. The other, an undefeated regular season, just became a goal as the wins kept piling up for the Chargers and coach Steve Noll. Noll had continued to talk throughout the season about taking it game by game, but he admitted as the season wound down and the team still had a 0 in the loss column, the thought of going undefeated began to gain importance.
“(Going undefeated) kinda became the focus for us the last couple days,” Noll said. “More importantly, we wanted to win the league outright. Our goals this year were to win the league tournament, win our own tournament, win the league regular season title, and another goal we have in front of us this week. We’ve done the first three.”
Noll came into Valley Falls expecting a tough game from the Dragons after getting just that from Valley Falls in their first meeting in the JCN Tournament championship game. North looked like this game would be easier for them in the first quarter but the Dragons would fight back to make the going not so easy.
A 13-2 North run keyed the first quarter as Valley Falls struggled to score and keep from turning the ball over on North’s pressure defense. The Dragons ended up with 10 turnovers in the first quarter alone as North used 3-pointers from freshmen Jordan Kramer and Kate Brickell and 6 points from junior forward Mallory GrandPre to build a 15-4 lead entering the second quarter.
The trend would continue but with more offense from the Dragons as they would commit 8 turnovers in the second quarter but also score 8 points. North held a 19-6 lead midway through the quarter and the advantage reached 15 points before the Dragons trimmed it to 26-12 by halftime.
The Dragons pulled back within striking distance in the third quarter thanks in part to the shooting of senior guard Shelbie Glissman as a jumper from the senior cut the lead to 11 at 27-16. Three possessions later, Glissman hit a 3-pointer to keep the Charger lead at 11 with 2:32 left in the quarter. She hit another 3 with 38 seconds left to cut the lead to 9 at 33-24, which held as JCN’s lead entering the fourth quarter.
The Chargers would put the game away in the fourth quarter thanks mostly to a 13-4 run. Kramer hit a baseline jumper then scored off one of her 8 steals to make it 37-24 North. Senior Amelia Noll scored and was fouled with 5:20 left to make the lead 15 and, after Noll missed the ensuing free throw, GrandPre came through with an offensive rebound and short jumper to give North their largest lead at 17 points. GrandPre would follow with a 3-point play on the Chargers’ next possession to make it 46-28 with 4:39 to play. The Dragons ran off 7 unanswered points to cut the lead to 11 and force a Charger timeout, but it would be too little, too late for Valley Falls. The Chargers were 6-of-7 from the free throw line from then on to salt away the 52-37 win.
GrandPre and Kramer were the offensive standouts for North as GrandPre finished with 22 points and 8 rebounds while Kramer scored 12 points with 8 steals. The Chargers finished the regular season 20-0.
The Dragons were led by 11 points and 6 rebounds from senior post player Chelsey Correll and 10 points and 5 rebounds from sophomore guard Abbey Kearney. The Dragons finished the regular season at 9-12.
Noll said his team will need to be better offensively if North wants to make it through a tough 3A substate field this week in Marysville.
“We played well coming off that third quarter,” Noll said. The Chargers are the top seed at Marysville but haven’t played three of the teams in the field, including third seeded Sabetha and fourth seeded Riley County. “We’ve got to attack better on offense and hit free throws better. We weren’t hitting them very well that first half. We had a good finish to the game, I thought. It was a whole team effort, again, which you like to see as a coach. We got concerned when Glissman started hitting those threes, but luckily they cooled off a bit. We’re hoping everything goes well this week for us.”
The North girls are the only county team in the Marysville substate as fellow 3A teams Oskaloosa and McLouth are in the Silver Lake substate. North defeated Pleasant Ridge in Monday’s opening round in Winchester.
Valley Falls’ girls are the sixth-seed in the 2A Lyndon regional and were set to take on third-seeded Burlingame in the quarterfinals Tuesday.

The boys’ game was filled with fouls as the Dragons took command in the second quarter and held on to defeat their county rivals.
That looked to be anything but the case starting out as North ran to a 6-0 lead broken only when Valley Falls senior Ray Cook finally got the Dragons on the board with a 3-pointer with 2:37 to play in the opening quarter. North ended up taking a 9-5 lead into the second quarter.
The Dragons got back in the game in the second quarter as they tied the game at 9 with 5:05 left in the half and took their first lead of the game on their next possession. They would outscore North, 13-2, in the quarter to take an 18-11 halftime lead.
From there, it was a matter of the Dragons keeping pace as their lead reached 12 midway through the quarter. A 3-pointer by North senior Riley Noll cut the lead to 9 but the Dragons would take a 29-19 lead into the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter saw a foul called seemingly each possession. The teams would combine for 46 fouls in the game. The Dragons upped the lead to 14 points on a 3-point play by Cook with 6:45 to play and North would be able to get no closer than 8 points the rest of the way in a fourth quarter that saw 41 points scored. Free throws helped the Dragons pull out a 50-39 win.
Cook led the Dragons with 13 points and junior Riley Bunde scored 10 points in the win as Valley Falls finished the regular season at 10-11. North was led by a game-high 20 points from Riley Noll as the Chargers also finished 10-11.
Valley Falls coach Caleb Gatzemeyer acknowledged the game wasn’t pretty but his team would take the win.
“A win’s a win,” Gatzemeyer said. “We’ve gotta do better at knocking down our free throws. It comes down to concentration and a little lack of focus. Inside defensively we’re pretty rock solid, so if we can knock down our shots that’s a big difference for us. We’re getting down to the time of the season where there’s no tomorrow. We’ve got a tough team coming in here, so I’m glad we have some home court advantage. We need to come in fired up and ready to play.”
The Dragons, who are the fourth seed on the boys’ side in Lyndon, defeated Wabaunsee in Monday night’s opening round. JCN’s boys are the sixth seed in boys’ play at Marysville and were set to travel to play Marysville in the opening round Tuesday.

Bears varsities sweep 'Dogs
A strong first quarter with an early second-quarter run piled on added up to enough elbow room for the Oskaloosa varsity girls’ basketball team in a 52-43 win over county rival McLouth Friday in McLouth.
The Bears built a 16-point lead early in the second quarter but saw the Bulldogs hang in to cut the deficit back to single digits several times, but the home Bulldogs couldn’t get all the way back in the game.
The teams were struggling at 4-3 Oskaloosa with about 3 minutes left in the opening quarter when Oskaloosa freshman Haley Pfau hit 3-pointers on consecutive Bears possessions to make it 10-3 Oskaloosa. The 7-point lead held at 14-7 as the game went into the second quarter.
Oskaloosa took off as the second quarter began as Pfau hit a baseline jumper on the Bears’ first possession and sophomore guard Hailey Kelly turned a steal into a short jumper from senior Nicole Rockhold to make it 18-7 Oskaloosa. The run would end up at 11-2 as another Pfau 3-pointer and a Rockhold short jumper made the score 25-9 midway through the quarter. McLouth went on a 7-point run, however, punctuated by a 3-point play from junior post player Cassidy Bristol to cut the lead to 25-16 with 2:13 left in the half. Bristol converted another 3-point play with 34 seconds left and Oskaloosa’s lead was cut to 29-21 at the half.
The trend of Oskaloosa stretching out the lead only to see McLouth trim it back down continued in the second half. The Bears scored the first 7 points of the second half to extend the lead back to 36-21 but the Bulldogs made a late surge to cut the lead to 38-31 on a Bristol short jumper with 33 seconds left. Pfau hit a jumper at the buzzer to make the score 40-31 Bears entering the fourth quarter.
Turnovers were the thorn in McLouth’s side throughout the game as they committed 18 compared to only 11 for Oskaloosa. Rockhold scored on consecutive steals by herself and Kelly in the early going of the fourth quarter to make the score 46-34 Oskaloosa. McLouth had chances to trim the lead back under 9 points but couldn’t do so until junior guard Missy Rome hit a 3-pointer with about 90 seconds left to cut the lead to 48-40. Oskaloosa held on, however, and only a Rome 3-pointer with 22 seconds left kept the final deficit at single digits at 52-43 Bears.
Rockhold led the Bears to victory on her 18th birthday with 25 points and 4 steals. Pfau added 17 points and 5 rebounds while sophomore Kristin Brey pulled down 6 rebounds. Kelly had 5 steals. The Bears improved to 15-3 with the win.
McLouth was led by 19 points and 9 rebounds from Rome while junior post player Kylie Shufflebarger pulled down 9 rebounds. Bristol added 11 points and 5 rebounds in the loss. The Bulldogs outrebounded the Bears, 30-24. McLouth fell to 8-10 with the loss.
Oskaloosa head coach LeeAnn Tufte said she credited McLouth for staying in the game as her team just couldn’t keep them put away.
“That’s a good ball club,” Tufte said. “Their record doesn’t show it. A lot of times you get a team down early like that and they kind of fold, but they stayed right there and kept competing. I think we had a few too many missed opportunities tonight. I think we were just stronger throughout the game. Our transition game was also big tonight. We’re getting our posts healthy, so I’m glad to see that. I’m pleased with the win and how we did.”
Oskaloosa boys 53, McLouth 21
The Bulldog boys got down early and a big Bears run in the third quarter all but put the game out of reach.
Oskaloosa jumped out to an 8-2 lead thanks to 3-pointers by sophomore Adam Bowser and senior J.T. Thurston and McLouth struggled to score as the Bears took a 12-4 lead into the second quarter.
McLouth cut the lead down to 4 to start the second quarter but the Bears ended the quarter on an 11-4 run as junior Brandon Barnes hit a 3-pointer. McLouth junior Cole Batman was fouled as time expired and hit one of two free throws to make the halftime score 27-14 Bears.
Oskaloosa scored the first 13 points of the second half and the rout was on. After Oskaloosa senior post player Chase Tenpenny scored on a steal and lay-in with 5:32 left, McLouth coach Jason Schroeder called a timeout to put in his bench because of his team’s play. Oskaloosa built the lead to 40-14 before McLouth finally got back on the board on a jumper by senior Jarrod Bechard with 2:10 left in the quarter. The Bears held a 43-19 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The offensive struggles continued for McLouth in the final period as the Bears held the Bulldogs to 2 points and finished off a 53-21 win.
Tenpenny led the Bears with 14 points as they improved to 10-9. Thurston and sophomore Levi Wade scored 9 points each.
McLouth was led by 7 points from Batman as the Bulldogs dropped to 2-16 on the season.
