Ipswich hosted Potter County last Thursday, February 15 in non-conference varsity basketball action. The outcomes were split. That was because the Tiger boys would compile a 48-34 victory following a girls 57-42 setback.
The Tiger boys would slowly pull away from their visitors who would predictably attempt a fourth-quarter run and did get to within six points 38 to 32. But Trevor Heinz would respond with a pair of timely free throws and the Tigers would then continue to outscore their visitors the rest of the way.
Ipswich had led at each respective quarter ending - 16-12, 29-22 and 36-24 and of course their final 14-point cushion. Heinz would finish with 19 points including two treys. Jace Konsor also included a pair of treys among his 12 points. Chet Peterson was next with eight points followed by Kyle Hettich and Tucker Kadlec with four points apiece. Xavior Kadlec had one free throw.The visitors were led by Ryder Falkenhagen with his 10 points and their scoring was followed by Jhett Simon with nine points. Only three more Battlers were able to penetrate Ipswich's stifling defense with at least one point. The Battlers sustained 15 turnovers as did Ipswich.
Ipswich had 12 dueces and four treys and added 12 free throws. Potter County countered with 12 two-pointers as well and had two treys plus four free throws.
Ipswich got 46 total rebounds led by Peterson with 12 rebounds and Heinz with eight boards. (The visitors claimed 37 rebounds.) The Tigers and Battlers each had 15 turnovers.
In the girls game the visiting Battlers owned 14-3, 28-15 and 43-25 respective quarter leads going into the final quarter which Ipswich actually won 17-14. Ipswich had closed to only a 10-point deficit, 46-to 36 with a Jalyssa Hutson trey.
Ipswich was led by five players with seven points each and they were Bri Geditz, Marley Guthmiller, Kaylin Onken, Tristan Geditz and Hutson. Both Geditz girls each included one trey plus that trey by Hutson. Anna Nierman netted six points and LaVaya Russell added one free throw.
The Battlers were led by Zoey Meinke with 19 points followed by Kayden Cronin with 12 points. Four more Battlers would score.
