Jets Get Paybacks In 'Civil War' Win Over Carney
 POWERS---Things were going just fine for the Carney-Nadeau High School basketball team Tuesday night as the boys played their arch-rivals, the North Central Jets. The Wolves had the fast-paced tempo that they love, and they led, 20-14, after one quarter of play. The Carney lead grew to 29-17 midway through the second quarter. 
Carney's Dionte Blahnik drives inside against two NCA defenders Tuesday.
Carney was ahead by twelve, but without the Wolves' leader on the court, NCA went on a 9-2 run and closed to within 31-26 at halftime. Schetter played the entire second half saddled by those four fouls. He has unable to play as aggressvely on defense as normal, and the Jets took full advantage. North Central took a 39-38 lead entering the fourth quarter as Travis Vincent scored on a put-back with time running out in the third quarter.  
Carney's last-second attempt to tie fails.
As time ticked down on the game, Schetter retied the game at 49-49 with an off-balance jumper. But the Jets came back down court and got a clutch three from Trevor Ekberg to put North Central back in front, 52-49, with a minute left in the fourth quarter. 
Wade Schetter is surrounded by three Jets.
With the win, North Central (8-2) reversed its recent fortunes against the Wolves. This goes back to last spring's district tournament game that turned in Carney's favor after a former NCA student threw a Coke bottle onto the court in the closing seconds, allowing Carney to gain possession for Schetter to nail a game-winning shot. On this night, Schetter led the Wolves (8-3) with 20 points. Carney has lost three of four games after a 7-0 start. North Central got 15 points from Ekberg, 14 from Rob Granquist, and 13 from Vincent.
