Although New Hampton held Waukon below its scoring average of 50 points per game Friday, that’s not as good as it sounds.

The word of the day on Friday for the New Hampton boys basketball team was patience.
And it paid off for the Chickasaws, who survived a slow start to roll to their biggest Northeast Iowa Conference victory of the season.

Up until Tuesday, North Fayette Valley was alone atop the Upper Iowa Conference, but Turkey Valley nudged them out of the spot, avenging one of the two conference losses the Trojans have had this season with a 57-48 win over the TigerHawks.

Both teams had a nice 1-2 punch as Turkey Valley’s girls played at North Fayette Valley Tuesday.
But Turkey Valley’s was bigger.

New Hampton boys basketball coach Ryan Rausch sat in the locker room Tuesday night, put his face into his hands and deeply sighed.

New Hampton/Turkey Valley’s wrestling team got just what it needed Tuesday night as the Chickasaws bounced back from a rough weekend to post two impressive dual meet victories.

Among the areas coach Chad Pemble said his team did well in during a Tuesday night 56-26 win over Charles City was defense and sharing the ball. Lauren Frerichs had a big hand in both.

Josh Smith knows the record — or even the recent scores — might not say it, but the Nashua-Plainfield girls basketball coach sees progress in his team, despite an eight-game losing streak that has dropped the Huskies to 1-10 overall and 1-7 in Top

If there is a rule when it comes to high school wrestling, it is this: Time speeds up after Christmas.

The win was nice, but the loss Nashua-Plainfield suffered last week may have shown just how far the Huskies have come this season.

The holiday layoff didn’t appear to slow down Turkey Valley’s girls much as they came back from the break with their first win of 2019, over conference rival Clayton Ridge Friday.

There could not have been a much bigger turnaround between the first and second quarters of Turkey Valley’s 46-23 win over Clayton Ridge Friday.

As a group of Alexa Wemark’s family members filed out of the school lobby after New Hampton’s win over Oelwein Friday, a comment was made about her followers.
“Yeah, I made a couple quick ones in the first quarter.”

Max Babcock wasn’t a bad wrestler at all last year, after all, he did make the state tournament.

The program says Drake Wemark is a freshman; his play on the court begs to differ.
