New Hampton/Turkey Valley isn’t used to going 2-4 at the Battle of the Waterloo, but coach Matt Paulus has no qualms about the way his team wrestled this past weekend at one of the best dual tournaments in Iowa.
The final score was ugly, yet last Tuesday’s girls basketball game between New Hampton and Waverly-Shell Rock told Chickasaw coach Chad Pemble something — namely that his players have plenty of heart.
The Border Battle wasn’t kind to New Hampton this past Saturday as both the Chickasaws’ boys and girls basketball teams dropped games to Minnesota schools.
Not that they didn’t go down without a fight.
After a 4-0 start to the year, the Turkey Valley boys basketball team hit a rough patch to end last week. This included a pair of losses against Upper Iowa Conference foe MFL MarMac and Houston, Minnesota.
