IPSWICH TIGERS
Ipswich returns a nucleus of players from last year's boys varsity basketball team and would like to be in the thick of things again this year. The team is coached by Stewart Bohle assisted by Caleb Schentzel.
For instance there are four seniors including Jace Konsor, Trevor Heinz, Xavier Kadlec and Chet Peterson. There are juniors Tucker Kadlec and Luke Waltman for some additional upper-class experience.
The sophomores include Kyle Hettich, Brody Davis, Casey Geditz, Jaxon Holt and Matthew Severson. That adds up to 11 varsity players thus far.
The team was scheduled to join the Tiger girls for a Saturday, Dec. 9 twinbill at Hitchcock-Tulare. The boys and girls then hosted a doubleheader vs. North Central on December 12.
The regular season will progress along towards regional tourney time, that's scheduled for February 26-27 and March 1. The SoDak 16 will be on March 5 followed by the State B on March 14-16. That's in Aberdeen!
