NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - It was an exhilarating evening of basketball at North Platte Community College. The Lady Knights kicked off the action with a 5 PM tip-off against Northeastern JC. NPCC came out strong in the first half, led by Freshman Kayla Pope. North Platte took a 32-23 lead into halftime, but things got tight down the stretch.
The Lady Knights held on to a 59-58 lead with forty seconds left in regulation. Kayla Pope drove to the basket and got fouled, proceeding to hit a pair of free throws. Out of the timeout trailing by three, the Plainswomen elected to try for the tie, but came up empty on a three-point attempt. Janay Brauer added another point from the charity stripe and NPCC secured the victory, 64-58 the final.
The Men’s game was just as thrilling with the Knights coming out strong and enjoying a double digit lead with just minutes to play. Northeastern made a push though, and with seven seconds to go in regulation, the teams were tied at 79. Out of the Knight’s timeout, German Plotnikov drove into the paint and scored a go-ahead layup with two ticks remaining on the clock.
The Knights watched with breath held as the Plainsmen heaved a half-court shot at the buzzer. The would-be winning shot missed wide right and the celebration was on for North Platte. Several players expressed their jubilation openly on the court as the Knights avenge a 75-62 loss to the Plainsmen from a month ago.
The NPCC Men’s Basketball home game that was scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled. The Knights will take the court next against Lamar CC in Colorado on 3/16.
