The Ipswich varsity boys basketball team compiled a 11-10 win loss record last season so would obviously like to build up on that success.

And even though there were some graduation holes to fill, there are a total of 23 players in the program this season, coached by Tyler Severson assisted by Todd Thorson.

They are:

• Seniors — Matt Hettich, Josh McQuarie, Dylan Owens, Eric Severson

• Juniors — Carson Gohl, Zach Geditz, Matt Jaenisch, Ty Kadlec, Whyatt Kessler, Jordan Nierman, Lance Parks, Luke Peterson, Zach Reuschlien, Taylor Thorson

• Sophomores — Carter Geditz, Tyler Hettich, Evan Onken, Colby Sylte, Turner Thorson

• Freshmen — Jace Alberts, Trevor Heinz, Xavier Kadlec, Chet Peterson

Their first game will be at home on Saturday vs. Waubay-Summit starting with a 12 p.m. “B” game. These games, along with the girls hosting Hitchcock/Tulare later that day, will have limited seating due to COVID with five coupons per player (that also applies for the visitors).

The regular season is projected to end on Feb. 26 with a LRC clash vs. Leola-Frederick on the road.

The Region 2B drama is March 1, 2, 5. The SoDak 16 is March 9 with details to be announced later. The State B is in Aberdeen March 18-20.
