Ipswich hosted a familiar rival in boys' Class B post-season high school basketball action last Tuesday in the Tiger Den and the Tigers came away with a convincing 67-52 Region 6B victory. That ended the Trojans' season record at 9-12, while Ipswich improved to 14-6 at that juncture of its season. Faulkton never led! And that's partly because the Tigers would score the first 10 points of the game before Faulkton could even get on the scoreboard. Trevor Heinz started things with a basket in the...

Ipswich gradually pulled away from Sunshine Bible Academy in a Region 6B girls' high school basketball play-in game on February 20 in Ipswich. The Tiger girls would end up with a 43-29 scoring edge. But SBA had actually led 7-6 in a defensive-minded opening quarter. However the IHS girls would then own a 20-14 halftime edge and would outscore their visitors 13-6 in the third quarter to gain even more separation going into the final stanza. (Ipswich's largest lead would be by 23 points in the last quarter.) Two reasons were Katie Bierman with a...

Two evenly matched teams battled each other in boys' varsity high school basketball action last Tuesday, February 14 at Hitchcock- Tulare. But the hosts would eventually defeat Ipswich 43-36. Ipswich had narrowly won the opening quarter 11-9 and expanded that to a 27-19 halftime edge. So this was sort of a classic case of a tale of two halves. That's because the hosts weren't quite ready to shut off the gym lights. They indeed closed to within four points, 32-28, with a quarter to play and would then hold Ipswich to only four points in that dec...
