Millard North rides balanced offensive attack to interstate win

OMAHA - Class A #3 Millard North may have a lot of new faces in their starting lineup, but their offense continues to run with the efficiency that's led them to so many wins over the last few years.

The Mustangs shot 53.6% from the field and were a perfect 9-9 from the free-throw line in a 72-53 win over Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs, Iowa on Friday.

Millard North saw four players finish in double figures, led by Creighton commit Jasen Green, who exploded for nine points in the fourth quarter and 20 points overall.

Lincoln saw Iowa commit Josh Dix turn in another brilliant performance with 28 points, but he didn't get much help. The rest of the Lynx were just 11-for-27 from the field and contributed just 25 points total.

Lincoln has lost two games this season, both to opponents from Nebraska.
