Groton wins battle of the Tigers

Ipswich dodged more than one bullet in a boys' high school basketball win over Faulkton last Thursday in Faulkton. Eric Severson scored on a turn-around jumper from the paint, which would give Ipswich a narrow 46-44 lead with just over a minute to play. Yes, that lead would stand up, even though the Tigers missed some crucial free throw chances that would have helped their cause even more! Faulkton would indeed get one final opportunity to win or send the game into OT, but the Trojans missed and Ipswich celebrated its LRC win.

There always seems to be a fierce rivalry with defensive intensity...
