The event was billed as the “Best of the West,” and when it was over, there was little arguing about which team was the finest. New Hampton rolled to three dual wins over ranked opponents — beating Dike-New Hartford 63-18, pulling away from Denve
If the first half would have lasted three minutes on Monday night, the New Hampton girls basketball team wouldn’t have been in bad shape. Unfortunately, halves in high school basketball are 16 minutes, and a combination of too many New Hampton tu
The frustration in New Hampton boys basketball coach Chad Sweitzer’s voice came through loud and clear on Monday night. His Chickasaws had just put up one heck of a fight against a Clear Lake team that began the season in the Class 2A state ranki

Just a freshman, Ethan Leibold didn't miss a shot when Turkey Valley played their “Border Battle” game Saturday morning. That's not an exaggeration, he literally did not miss, going 10-for-10 to lead the Trojan boys as they defeat
The Reicks cousins picked up all the points Turkey Valley scored both Thursday in a pair of dual meets at North Fayette Valley and the Flanagan Invitational at Cresco over the weekend, where the Trojans trailed the field of eight schools. The Thu
Against Oelwein Friday, New Hampton's girls had an insurmountable lead early in the third quarter. Or did they? When Darian Wegner scored on an offensive putback, the Chickasaws led by nearly 20, 41-22.
The halftime talk didn't sink in until about three minutes had elapsed in the second half, but when it did, New Hampton took firm control of Friday night's game with Oelwein. The Chickasaws used a 25-0 run that stretched deep into the f
On a night when New Hampton all but wrapped up its second consecutive Northeast Iowa Conference dual meet championship, the signature moment may have come in meet the Chickasaws won 70-6. That win over Crestwood and a 34-31 victory over Waverly-S
