FIRTH - North Gem's season is over after a 42-33 loss to Clark County in a 1A Division II Rocky Mountain Conference loser-out game Friday at Firth High School.

North Gem scored no points in the first quarter and trailed 18-6 at halftime but outscored Clark County 20-7 in the third quarter to take a 26-25 lead into the fourth quarter.

Clark County pulled away in the final period by drawing 20 fouls and hitting 15 attempts. The Bobcats had hit just 1-of-4 free throws in the first three quarters.

"You've got to give Clark credit," North Gem coach Ken Christensen said. "You step up to the line and make 15 out of 20, that's a hell of a shooting night."

Shawn Banks led North Gem (8-13) with nine points.
