Central (7-12 overall, 4-6 American Rivers) trailed 45-40 at intermission but was up by as many as five points in the second half, led 66-65 with 11 minutes left and was still within 81-75 with 6:06 remaining. But then Wartburg (14-6 overall, 8-3 conference) ran off eight straight points in the next 5 minutes to break away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made plays down the stretch and we didn\u2019t,\u201d coach Craig Douma said. \u201cWe could not come up with a loose ball. That was pretty critical. Plus we didn\u2019t finish very well offensively and we didn\u2019t shoot very well even though I thought we had some good looks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody knocked down 10 of 20 shots and hit four 3-pointers. He also had a team-high eight rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe shot well,\u201d Douma said. \u201cHe hit some 3\u2019s, he got a bunch of offensive rebounds, he was just a workhorse today. He was relentless. He\u2019s playing like a leader. He wants to win and do whatever he can to help this team out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, guard <strong>Shimar Jones (senior, Marshall, Texas) <\/strong>had 21 points and four assists and guard <strong>Adam Flinn (sophomore, Wildwood, Mo., Lafayette HS) <\/strong>added 15 points. Guard <strong>Jamel McKnight (senior, Austin, Texas, Hendrickson HS) <\/strong>passed out six assists.<\/p>\n<p>Wartburg outshot the Dutch 50.0 percent to 37.9 percent and outrebounded them 40-34. The young Central squad is still limited by injuries and its bench was outscored 25-5.<\/p>\n<p>Central had just 12 turnovers in the game but made some pivotal ones in the second half after taking the lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we had the momentum there and could really have run with it,\u201d Douma said.<\/p>\n<p>Central\u2019s only home appearance in a four-game stretch is a daunting one Wednesday when No. 1-ranked Nebraska Wesleyan travels to Pella for an 8 p.m. contest as part of a women\u2019s-men\u2019s doubleheader at P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium. The Prairie Wolves saw their 31-game win streak snapped Saturday at Loras College, 84-76. Prior to that, Central\u2019s hard-fought 91-83 loss at Lincoln Nov. 28 was as close as any league team had come against Nebraska Wesleyan. Playing the Prairie Wolves coming off a loss only adds to the challenge, Douma said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to really come ready to play,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to do things right and rebound. We need to make them shoot contested shots and eliminate second-chance opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Athletics Larry Happel, Sports Information Director WAVERLY \u2014 Guard Jaden Moody (junior, Cambridge, Ballard HS) pumped in a career-high 31 points but a late 5-minute<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,6,23],"tags":[88,104,187],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-division-iii","category-mens-basketball","category-top-news","tag-basketball","tag-central","tag-jaden-moody"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":586,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions\/586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
