Colo, Iowa — After running out to an early 19-9 lead, turnovers in the fourth quarter contributed to the North Tama girls’ basketball team’s season-ending loss to Colo-NESCO, 42-39.
Between the middle of the second and middle of the fourth quarters, the Royals outscored the Redhawks 28-12. The Royals had eight three-pointers to the Redhawks’ one. NT missed an attempt to tie the game in the final seconds.
North Tama finishes 20-4, with three of those losses coming against Colo-NESCO. (So the Royals, who will be angling for their third state tournament appearance in a row Monday, better win the whole dang thing. Or at least not lose to Kee High.)
