Last year, the Turkey Valley boys basketball team held their opponent to under 30 points in three different games. Just one week into this season, the Trojans seemed poised to shatter that mark, as they have already achieved this twice.
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.
“He’s making a list and checking it twice..”
Last Saturday the Big Man himself came to town to check for himself who’s been “naughty” or “nice” in New Hampton.
Having four games in one week can be both physically and mentally exhausting. However, you wouldn’t have guessed it from watching the Turkey Valley girls basketball team, as they were able to sweep all four games with ease last week.
New Hampton Parks and Recreation Director Rick Kramer knows it sounds corny, but he believes the reason Breakfast with Santa always draws a big crowd every single year is that it’s … well, just simple.
It wasn’t the way coach Chad Pemble envisioned the season starting, and even though the New Hampton girls basketball team is 0-3, he was pleased with how the girls played against stingy competition.
