Ipswich comfortably defeated Leola/Frederick 51-33 in LRC girls' high school basketball action last Tuesday in Leola.

That's because the Tiger girls staged an 11-point run, started with a Halle Heinz trey, followed by her break-away lay-up and then two straight Bailey Pitz treys.

Eric Severson then got free underneath and Kadlec converted a steal into a solo breakaway layup for a brief 7-2 five-point Tiger edge. That's because Warner would soon grab its...
