New Hampton was in a bad spot – no doubt about it.
It’s amazing what a few games and a matter of days can do to a basketball squad.
The Chickasaws are living proof.
The oldest prep conference wrestling tournament in the state of Iowa has seen tremendous champions finish off their careers in style at the tradition-rich league meet.
Perhaps the toughest opponent for basketball squads this season may just be Old Man Winter.
Because when snowflakes from the sky above accumulate on the ground, it can make it tough for prep hoops squads to get games in this winter.
A good start - a not so great finish.
The New Hampton Chickasaw girls basketball team started out well in games played against Charles City and Waukon this week.
It might be pretty intimidating for Jacqlyn Schmitt, a sophomore playing for the Turkey Valley girls. Not only is she playing with some seasoned veterans on her team, but some of those players are also state leaders.
Superman he is not.
But New Hampton junior forward Drake Wemark brings a lot to the table where the New Hampton boys basketball team is concerned.
He's back!!!
