Chickasaws fall to Mason City
The sun did rise on Friday morning, but it didn’t brighten the mood for New Hampton boys basketball coach Ryan Rausch after his team dropped a 77-41 non-conference tilt to Mason City.
“Look, you can’t turn the ball over 27 times and expect to win,” he said after his team fell to 0-2. “Heck, you can’t turn the ball over 15 times and expect to win. Taking nothing away from Mason City — their guards are super quick — but we have to figure this out. Fifty-two turnovers in two games isn’t going to cut it.”
Put it this way, this wasn’t the way New Hampton wanted to play its first-ever boys basketball game in its new gym.
