Ipswich stunned Corsica-Stickney with an early 8-0 lead on opening day of the girls’ State B in Huron and still led 12-10 with a quarter in the books. Credit Abby Grabowska with a free throw to initiate Lady Tiger scoring and she then added a layup-up off a long Kamryn Heinz assist. Halle Heinz contributed a layup and a three-ball before Corsica-Stickney could get untracked.
But C-S fans, though out-numbered by a huge Ipswich fan base, would eventually celebrate a 61-32 victory. Their team oustcored Ipswich 19-8 in the second quarter and also won the third-quarter scoring derby 20-8. The Jaguars additionally outscored Ipswich 12-4 in the final stanza.
They were led by eighth-grader Avery Broughton’s 25 points, which was also a game-high performance. Next was Rachel Gerlach with 11 points and a couple more Jaguars, Courtney Manning and Raven Barse, managed double-figure scoring efforts with 10 points apiece. Payton DeLange added five points to complete their ledger.

Kamryn Heinz finished with eight points, featuring a pair of treys and Halle Heinz was next with seven points, including a trey. Tessa Kilber rounded out the effort with six points, resulting from a couple of accurate three-balls.
Ipswich shot 11-33 from the floor and that included the half-dozen treys and the Lady Tigers were 4-8 in free throw attempts. Corsica-Stickney’s corresponding stats were 26-65 in floor-shot tries, including seven treys and a 2-5 free throw evening.
Ipswich committed 15 turnovers and the Jaguars only five. But three of those were from steals by Halle Heinz, Steger and Kilber. Ipswich was also out-rebounded 37-27, despite 10 rebounds by Kamryn Heinz.
